Dear Tom, Cheryl and Family,
It is so hard to write what the right thing at a time like this. We lost our son, Paul, 17 years ago and not a day goes by that we do not think of him. So many people try to say the right thing; the worst possible phrase that is said is: “Time will heal!” Not true! I guess I can tell you that our faith is what got us through! Everyone deals with death in their own way. Having family around you is a wonderful god-send. The memories that you have will always be with you and your son will always be in your heart. Please know that you now have a special Angel in Heaven to watch over you!

I’m so sorry family, I can say Scott was one of my best friends, he was very real, and at times that irked people, but that’s either what you loved about Scott or you did not. I loved it, my mom loved him, he was just a riot to be w/! That’s why he’ll be missed so much. I’ll be there Mar 3rd! Wouldn’t miss it..Such a sad loss, take care guys..

Tom and Cheryl,
I was so sad to hear of Scott’s accident. So much has happened to us all since those days long ago when we were carefree, silly kids together. I didn’t know Scott, but my brother, Chad, did; and he has shared fond remembrances of him with me. I do know, however, what light and joy our children bring to us; and I’m so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.
