    Beckie,

    I am so sorry about Scott. I found out about his death 15 minutes ago (12:15). I really do not have the words that I want to share with you, but please know that I have been blessed because I knew Travis, Scott, and your entire family. May God bless you during this time and may you find peace in his grace.

    Sincerely,

    Stephanie (Mama J)

    Louise, My heart is aching especially for you during this time with Scott’s death. You are giving up another love of your life. Since 2005 you have had some troubled times and severe pain in your life, and I know that I cannot feel what you are going through. My love is so great for you, Scott, Daniel and for the rest of your family. Although I did not know anyone but Daniel of Scott’s family, Bro. Bobby and I loved you and Morris; so, this also includes Scott and all of his family. My heart is full of sorrow. May all of you feel God’s overwhelming love around you. Just know that I will always love you. I cannot be there for you tomorrow for I must be at home on Wed and cannot get out of something. Much love…Jacki

    Dear Becky, Anna and Family,
    We are so very sorry that your family once again is having to endure more pain in loosing a husband/father who is so loved and dear to your hearts. I am so grateful that the Lord allowed our paths to cross that day at the park and Jessica and I were able to talk with Scott and give him what was to be our last hugs. Bratt, Florida has lost yet another good family man, but we are all better off to have known him than to have not known him at all. We will surely miss you Scott, but will try and find comfort in knowing that you and Travis are together once again. <3
