Celebrating Scott’s Life
April 27th, 2009 by LynneMany have asked about when a memorial service for Scott might be, so they could make plans to come. Mount Hermon has been so wonderful in allowing our family to use their facilities to remember him.
We will celebrate Scott’s life on what would have been his 51st birthday, Sunday, May 17th, here at Mount Hermon at 4pm. There will be a light supper reception afterwards. There needs to be some kind of count for meal preparation purposes, so if you plan on staying for the supper after the service, please either call Cindy Ritchie at (831) 430-1230, or e-mail her at cindy.ritchie@mounthermon.org.
Thanks so very, very much for the love, prayers, and encouragement all of you have given via this blog. We feel very loved and upheld.
God bless you all,
Lynne, for our family

We’ll be celebrating Scott’s life from here, but it will be celebrated. Actually we’ve been celebrating ever since the diagnosis and watching with awe how the Lord has led and how you have all bravely followed.
You will continue to be in our prayers,

Continuing to pray for you and your family. Having been in the position that you are in of saying good-bye to my husband I understand feelings you might have that are inexpressible. The prayers are still coming for you all.
It will be wonderful to celebrate Scott’s life with you all.
We will be thinking of you and your family and friends as you have a Celebration of Scott’s Life on May 17th. We wish we could be there in person, we will be there in spirit. The Lord sustains the fatherless and the widow….Psalm 146:9. Our prayers are for all the details that need to be worked out……strength and a brave heart. Blessings on you and Daniel and Becky. We know in these days, God walks along side you to comfort and sustain you. We send our love to you and the children.

Praise Almighty God! I have that day off and I plan to come. I will continue to pray for your family.
Shelly and I will be there, Lord willing! Thanks for allowing us to gather to remember our friend/brother Scott and to try to encourage your family. I look forward to seeing the many of you that have left a comment on the blog – you feel like family of sorts. He was a special guy who serves a special God – should make for a special time!! Blessed be the name of the Lord!! Dan and Shelly P.S. I remember Scott’s love of Olympia Pizza, a good hamburger, road trips, foosball, basketball, bike riding, good worship, good music, sports statistics, and good friends.
We’ll continue to pray for you all in the weeks and months ahead. We send you our love and well wishes!
Thanks for the update. We will definitely be there for the Memorial but not the supper, but thanks for the invite. We will continue to ask our heavenly Father to be your sufficiency in every way. What is wonderful to know is that we can count on that!!
‘Love you!
Dick and Marty Payne
I want to send my prayers to all of you in the loss of Scott. I did not know that he had been ill so hearing of his passing was quite a surprise. I remember Scott and the love for life that guided him. His faith in God was strong and I delight with you all to know that he is now healthy, happy, healed and whole! My prayers continue for you and trust you know the presence of Jesus through this valley. Bless you all. Ed Smyth, Seattle Pacific University
Dear Lynne, Daniel and Becky,
I have not posted in quite along time but have followed Scott’s progress and kept you all in prayer over this long journey. I will praise the Lord together with you that Scott’s suffering is over. You have been a mighty testimony of God’s strength and sustenance even through the lowest times. I will continue to pray for the three of you now as you grieve the loss of this vibrant godly man. May God bless the three of you and comfort you and continue to provide that amazing peace that passes all understanding.

My heart grieves with yours over the loss of your wonderful husband and father. Like many others (above), my recent loss is still very real.
Remember I have the apartment available if any of your family need a place to stay. Call me at 335-3563
I will continue to pray that God will give you the peace that only He can give (as He is still in the process of giving to me)- truly it is beyond human understanding!

Hi Lynn,
Bill and I will be at the service but unable to attend the dinner. We are praying for you and know God will give super sttrength during this time of loss.God bless

Scott will surely be missed.
Dear Lynne,
Daily I pray for you and your family. Every time I look out my kitchen window and see my neighbor, I think of you all and pray. When I lie down to sleep, I bring you all to God in prayer. Every day I light a candle at work in honor of Scott and your family. God is with us.
I pray for good advisers and wisdom to make good decisions in these days ahead. I encourage you to reach out and ask for help if you need it, since many others don’t know what you are going through and have no clue what you need. In my experience, many people offered their help “if I needed anything” but specific help was difficult to come by. If you have any trusted advisers right now–clergy, doctors, family–I urge you to seek their help and counsel. I know details are not things you want to deal with right now. At least, I didn’t. I just wanted to remember. . . .But, life does not stop, even though we have lost our dearest one, and sometimes time matters to the help one can get and the help one is offered.
You are not forgotten. I remember you all and I put you before God all the time. God’s peace be with you all!
Love,
Darlene
Bill and I will be in Chicago watching Josh (our oldest) graduate from Moody Bible College on 5/17. We weep almost every time we think/pray for you 3. It’s really hard to think of Scott as gone. We really wept when we read the date of his Memorial service and realized we could not BE THERE for and with you. After Chicago we’ll be out of the country for a week also
We’ll be praying and thinking of you all day long (we do that already!), especially on the 17th. Lynn, get ready for that day to lift and encourage you (even in the sadness/grief). You’ll hear how MANY lives Scott touched, and what an amazing impact he’s had on ALL of us.
Psalm 126:5 “Those who plant in tears will harvest with shouts of JOY.”
We love you to bits….Crutches and Co.
Dear sister Lynne,
I really say that at the time when I came to know about brother Scott,I was broken in my heart,I was speechless that time because of my dearest friend that is brother Scott was no more witn us.The time I gave this news in our fellowship church,the eyes of all the believers were seen wet with tears in the loving memory of brother Scott.But we also know the word of God and it is written in Psalm 90:3″God can call human at any time he wants.”And we have an everlasting hope that our brother Scott is not dead but is alive in God.As Lord Jesus said in John-11:25″Those who believe in me,if they die also than also they are alive in me.”
So.dear sister our this belief is purely definite and true that One day me and you will see brother Scott with our eyes again.So,have hope and perform all the responsibilities that brother have given to you.Our prayers are with you and your family.
May God Bless You!!
Hi Guys, My prayers have been for you this day, all through the day. I will come by and say hello right before the service, sorry I can’t stay long since I have a service to lead and preach at that early evening.
