We just had a glips of what it felt like to be scared for your child and that was hard enough, I could not ever image or want to image what this feels like, I just wanted his family to know we all loved Scott very much and he was a Friend to my son, he helped him all the time and I loved to here my sons story's about how Scott & him joked with each other.
