rest well!

for bringing your mother and I together. I know you were there when I was asking for answers from my son. Drop your mother some signs that you are by her side. Out of appreciation for your mother I feel I can write on your memory book without ever knowing you.

I visited Scott's grave yesterday and left blue hydrangeas. It brought back the painful memories of his death. I remembered how his mom told me he laid on the ground and no one had the decency to call 911 for help. When I stood at his grave, I felt the lonliness and emptiness of that night one year ago. I hope and pray that Scott is looking down and knows how much he is missed. This day will never be forgotten by those who love him.

I have never had the honor of meeting you in person, but feel I know you really well through your Mom. Through her loss of you and my loss of my son Brian we have been brought together and share a special friendship. Your Mom is a wonderful woman with a heart of gold and she loves and misses you so much - she is also very strong and will go forward for the rest of her family and friends. You will never be forgotten, no matter how many years pass by. Our Love for our children, living or in spirit is eternal. You have a special place in my heart and one day we shall meet. You have a beautiful daughter and one day soon she will know about you, her special Daddy. Not everybody can claim such a handsome Daddy! Your Mom is a very proud Grandma and I am getting to know your daughter through pictures as well. What a cutie. And bless Cayla's Mom for keeping the pictures coming. We are remembering your one year Anniversary - Your family can't believe that this will be a year already to not have seen your beautiful smile, but I know you are with them and give your Mom an extra big hug. Peace to you and your family.

Scottie: I can't believe it is almost a year since that horrible day, 9/1/06. I knew when I spoke to your mom that something was definitely wrong by the sound of her voice. Little did I know that the news she had would be so horrific. It really is ironic, because I never imagined your mom would have experienced something my family already experienced 26 years ago on 8/27/81. We have been friends for a long time, but little did we know we would share the same type of tragedy. Life will go on for so many people, but this isn't true of your mom and family. Nothing will ever be the same. There will be so many special occasions that won't be happy, because you'll be missing. The day you died everything changed. Your mom's laughter has turned to tears. I'm only glad that Cayla Scott was born. Your mom will look at her and she will remind her of you. Please watch over your precious daughter and your mom, dad and brother. They will need your prayers until you are re-united in heaven. Rest in peace, dear Scott.

Dear Scotty, I can hardly beleive that you are no longer with us. It is so hard for me to even phathom. Our family will never be the same. I think about you every single day. You were so smart, handsome, beautiful, talented and so special to your loving family. I miss your smile and laughter and just getting together as a family. Our family get togethers will never be the same. It feels like my heart was ripped out of my chest. I love you and miss you so much. Thank GOD we still have a part of you that still lives on in our dear little Cayla Scott. She is so beautiful and looks just like you and Stacey also. Words cannot describe how I feel. I know my life will never be the same along with our family now that you are gone. WE will never stop thinking about you and loving you. I miss you so much. You are my angel now. Please watch over me from above. LOVE ALWAYS AND FOREVER AUNT PATTY

Scottie, You can't even imagine what this last year has been like! I love you and miss you so much it's unbelievable. I think I am still dreaming...it is so surreal! I keep waiting for you to call and say "I Love you Mom"...always and forever in my heart Scottie... Love, Mom

Scotty, its almost been a year...I remember when you told me you were going to go to West Chester and that you were still seeing the same great girl, Stacey for more than 2 years at that point. We are so lucky you left a piece of yourself with us in little Cayla Scott. Miss you much and not a day goes by that everyone you knew doesn't think of you and the void in our lives without you...
