Our Friend Scott

Was a great man. He was funny, a great father and a great husband. He had 4 little ones and the 2 girls are each about 6 months older than Claire and Luke. James and Scott played softball together for several years, and we were blessed to go to church with his family.

Scott passed away today, and we are very sad. I'm not sure why Scott didn't get a chance to raise his children or why he wasn't able to keep being the encouraging force he's always been since I met him. It doesn't make sense, and I don't understand.

Depending on the plans, we'll be trying to go up there for his memorial. Because if there is anyone we'd want to memorialize it is Scott.

  1. i'm not sure it's something we get to understand. sometimes i felt guilty b/c i would see so clearly what a change Scott was making in my life. i would think that maybe if i were better, Scott wouldn't have to go through his cancer to show me what real faith is. all i know is that Scott loved Jesus and Scott loved everyone else, and that i have a really good picture of the kind of person i want to be.

    wish i was with you guys. missing you a bunch:(
