In March of 2010, Scott requested to go to "The Melting Pot" restaurant in Louisville for his birthday.  So Dan, Scott and I went to have a most delicious meal.  This year to celebrate his life that we were blessed to share with him for 34 years we decided to go back to the same restaurant that he enjoyed so much.  It was so sweet remembering the evening with him.  We were even seated at the same table that we had 2 years ago, without even asking for that table!!  Our waiter, Carl, was so sweet to us.  We told him the reason for our visit to the restaurant and he went out of his way to make it a special celebration.  He asked his manager to make a special presentation of strawberries cut to look like roses.  He also provided a complimentary chocolate fondue for us at his expense and without knowing that Scott loved cheesecake, included a piece for us.  We were also given complimentary glasses of champagne.  All in all, even though it brought tears to our eyes, we were able to really remember being with Scott in a very happy time and feel his presence with us.  We remembered that Scott was such a gentle, loving, patient person.  The times that he was so helpful when Dan was sick after his brain cancer was discovered and when I was sick and he was concerned about me are only a small example of the wonderful son and friend that Scott was to us.  We miss you so much, Scott, and look forward to joining you in heaven someday. 

Happy birthday to our loving son!  We will celebrate again.

Love,

Mom

This picture of Lisa, Woody, Brian and Scott was taken one Easter in front of our Arvada home.

This is a photo of Scott, Michele, Brian and Steve.  All our children started out skiing when they were young and they all, except Steve, still like to ski.  Scott started snowboarding in the last few years.  Scott and Lisa were the snowboarders in the family.
