    Billy, Connie, Chad, DeeDee, Candi, and the Entire Scott Family,
    God Bless you All and God Speed Mr. Scott to the Church Triumphant to be your forever Angel! I am certain Queen”E” and Damon are giving him the tour of all tours! Times such as these are never easy, so I Pray that you all will take comfort in your memories and have peace in knowing that he is in the best place that God gives to all. Being a soldier I am sure he saw victories, now he sees the Greatest and most Powerful victory ever won, that by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Our families go back many years, you are always a special part of ours. 1 Corinthians 13:4 – 8
    Terry Wilhelm and the entire Wilhelm Family
