Happy Heavenly Birthday to my Don. I know you are celebrating with the angels. Life has not been the same since you’ve been gone and I miss you every single day. I am so thankful that you love the Lord and I will see you again someday. You will always be in my heart. I love you.

Wow, it was 3 yrs ago today my dear sweet Don went home to be with the Lord. I miss you every day. I miss your tender touch. I miss waking up for the smell of bacon or sausage or you saying come on let’s go on a road trip today. You loved going on road trips as much as I did. As long as we were together, it didn’t matter where we went, we tried to make every minute count. I remember waking up one morning to you saying “do you trust me”, and, of course, I said yes. I looked outside and it was snowing big beautiful flakes you told me to get dressed, we were going to go for a ride. You took me up to one of our favorite picnic spots turned on one of our favorite songs and danced with me in the snow. It was so romantic. Life keeps going and I have God to keep me going but it will never be the same without you. Your grandsons, Robson and Jet talk about you often and say they miss you and that you’re with Jesus and that you’re happy. You made quite an impression. You are forever missed. I will see you again someday. Until then, I love you and you will always be in my heart.

Hard to believe it's been 3 years already. We all miss you dearly and treasure all the memories of our family. We take solace knowing you are in a wonderful place. We'll be with you again.

Happy Heavenly Birthday Don. Today would have been your 71st birthday. You are missed greatly by me, our sons, and 5 grandchildren. Until we meet again . . .

My system would not let me post yesterday so I wanted to still post today.

Two years ago January 25, 2021, my life was changed forever, the Lord took my precious husband, Don home to be with Him. I miss him every minute of every day, sometimes it still feels like yesterday. He loved me unconditionally and made me feel like I was his queen. I miss his smile, his hugs, his words of encouragement, his witty sense of humor. I miss the way we could talk about anything, and he never judged me, he just loved me. I thank God that He brought Don into my life and gave me 21 years with him. Jet and Robson are always talking about Popy and how much they miss him. You were definitely loved. Because of God’s promise, and because I know Don accepted and loved the Lord, I know I will see him again someday and that makes my heart smile. I love you and miss you so much.

Two years ago today you took your last breath here on this earth. It's hard to believe it's been 2 years. You are deeply missed by so many. Our sons miss you every day and we have a new granddaughter that you would have loved to meet.
I know you are in heaven, with dear loved ones that have gone before, and not in pain or discomfort. Until we meet again, Don.

Don and I met in 1975 and married in 1978. We were married for over 20 years. We were blessed with four wonderful sons, Damon, Jared (JD), Justin and Derek. Don was a loving husband and father.

His full name was Donald Alan William Scott - the boys knew that whenever they heard me say his complete name - he was in trouble with mom. (Of course it was the same for them, if they heard their complete names) It was all good. Lots of memories and fun times to cherish.

He was very involved with his family - family was the most important thing to him (other than God, of course). As mentioned before, he loved all the sports his sons played and was always there to support them and coach or assist in any way he could. He loved to be involved in all the parades and festivities. 

Over the many years we, as parents, received many compliments on what wonderful manners our boys all had - and not that I didn't teach them to be that way, but Don was an excellent teacher and example. He expected nothing less but outstanding manners from his boys. And they delivered!

Yeah, Don could be a little quirky at times but that was Don and it was fun to be with him. He was always unpredictable. He had a heart of gold. Our close friends used to say that he was a tough burly guy on the outside but just a "marshmallow" on the inside. They were right.

He is missed terribly by our sons, and our four grandchildren, Isabella, Julia, Odin, and Orion. I will miss him too - we remained good friends.

I pray, and take comfort in knowing he is in "paradise" now and is out of pain and discomfort. Love you Don for the wonderful person that you were and I look forward to seeing you again down the road my friend.

Dad you will be missed!
It still doesn’t feel real yet.
I have YOU to thank for my love of John Wayne and American history. You food making abilities were awesome (from the goulash to tacos and enchiladas) and every meal was a surprise. The way I yell at the TV when my favorite teams are playing, I learned from you. I can remember you telling me if “you tell loud it enough they will hear you”. Trust me, I think they have heard me a few times. At least I know the neighbors have. Still one of my favorite memories of football was the trip we took with Damon and Grandma to Lambeau Field on Dec 20th, 1992. That was a great trip!!!!!
I have never seen a tailgate like that. I never saw a bed go in a hotel pool until after that game! I remember you telling me “Packers fans get a little excited when their team wins”. I guess that why I am a Chiefs fan today (never liked a water bed).
You were a good grandfather! I am so glad the boys got to see you and spend time with you. You being here when Orion was born was special and always sending them postcards from your travels. I will make sure to share your stories and life lessons with them. I will also share with Isabella what you said about her and what you wanted her to know. I know she will be touch by it.

I know this does cover everything but thank you Dad for being yourself and always showing your family the right way to treat people and putting manners first. Thank you for your love and support in whatever we wanted to do as kids. No matter what sport it was you were there to support or coach. Thank you Dad for being your own corkey self with the funny ways you talked and joked around. I will miss them now that’s for sure. Love you!!! Rest Easy and we will see each other again someday. Thanks for being my Dad I would not pick another. I know you are in a better place. Just make sure everyone has enough to eat up there. I just hope I will be able to hear your cheering on your Packers from heaven.

I say again I could not have asked for a better Dad! You meant a lot of things to different people but you were always Dad to me and I love you for that! Rest Easy Buddy! Love you Dad!

My memories of Don include loving the Lord, loving to serve others, and making yummy food to share! He was a big teddy bear and loved Gwen so much. Their travels together is a true testament to how couples can get along and share all that is great with living life! Much love to Gwen and her beautiful family. May God keep you all in His care during this time of sorrow. Love you, Lynne

One month ago today I lost the love of my life. He loved me unconditionally and gave me 21 years of experiences that I will never forget. My heart is broken that he is not here with me but I know where he is. He loved the Lord with all his heart and I know that I will be able to see him again someday. He taught me what true unconditional love was with the way he treated me. There was never a day that went by without him telling me several times how much he loved me and how he loved our life together. Our travels together over the years especially the last two 1/2 years were amazing and a dream come true that was over way too soon. He was the best travel mate I could ever have. He was not only my husband but he was my best friend and I miss him so, so much. He will forever and always be in my heart. I love you Don.

Don was my step dad and although I never lived with he and my mom, I did get the privilege of spending some time with him. I think we can all agree he was a strange dude…but there is no doubt that he loved the Lord, loved cooking, loved life, and most importantly he loved and treated my mom like a husband should! He always had some goofy statistic or story to tell, and I am thankful he was able to be part of my life and that my son, Jet, was able to meet his “Popy” and enjoy the time he had with him!

Thanks Don for putting up with my mom all of the time you did! :-)

You will be missed.
