Dear Cherie & Family,
I send my heart-felt and sincere condolences at Scott’s passing. I am so sorry.. What a wonderful and amazing friend Scott was to me! I have many wonderful memories of the time we spent as teenagers in Missouri. Scott was like a brother to me, always setting a good example in striving to live a good and honorable life. Scott showed me by his actions what it meant to be a worthy priesthood holder and friend. Scott was kind and reached out to me when I most needed a friend and I will always be grateful to him. Again, I send my sincere condolences to you and your family. May Heavenly Father’s choicest blessings attend you and comfort you now and always.
Sincerely,
Paul Bateman
