Over these last weeks, I always prayed for you and Scott and the girls. I was afraid since you hadn't posted in a while that things were not going well. I am so sorry that Scott passed away and I can't imagine the pain you and your daughters feel at this time. I do know that you have posted about how wonderful the time you guys have been together has been and I pray that you can recall all those happy, good times during this very hard time. I will continue to pray for you and the family!

Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 116 | Thank you all for your kind words and prayers. I feel like a ship lost at sea. Thankfully Scott did leave us with plenty of wonderful memories, and my daughters and I have found ourselves laughing at the oddest times. Somewhere out there, he is finally able to talk again, and some angel is getting his/her ear gabbed off.  And I hope they get to hear his amazing, infectious laugh. I sure miss him. Christine

Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 143 | Christine, you`re note gave me my first chuckle of the morning......Frank went for over 3 years not being able to talk, and when he could talk, he never shut up, especially if I was on the phone.I hope they both aren`t talking the same angel`s ear off,the overwhelmed angel will soon be volunteering for earth duty.And you`re right, laughter comes around at the strangest times.......Love and Hugs, Dee | | |
