My Dear Brother Scott:  I've been meaning to tell you that I lit a candle for you, mom and Bill's mother Helen on Christmas Eve.  I purchased it through the Lions Club and they had luminaries placed on the Barryville/Shohola Bridge that crosses the Delaware River.  They lit them just before Christmas Eve Service at the Church and what a beautiful sight when crossing the bridge that evening with the candles all lit lining the bridge on both sides and the snow falling down.  We had quite the white out for a little while that evening.  It was a squall that moved through, but made everything look like Christmas for sure.  I'm sure you were looking down and saw the whole thing.  Everything must look even more beautiful from where you are.  Talk to you soon.  I love you and miss you very much.  I'm very thankful for this guest book and for being able to talk to you this way.  Take care and God Bless dear Scott.  Love your little sister, Karla

Dear Scott: We've begun a new year 2014!  I can't believe that we had to ring it in without you here.  I know that you were and are probably with us in spirit, but it's just not the same.  I can't hear your voice saying happy new year sis, or feel your hugs that you use to give me.  I miss you so very, very much.  I love you dear brother. I miss all the conversations we would have when I would call you and your laughter too.  I'm glad that I have this guest book to talk to you through.  I pray everyday and you are always in my prayers.  Even though you have been gone now for a little over a year, it still feels like it was yesterday.  My heart is still broken and mourning your loss.  Even though I know in my mind that you are in a better place and have no more pain and are whole again, my heart still hasn't been able to accept it fully yet.  I miss you so much.  Happy New Year 2014 Scott.  I'll keep you close in my dreams, for this is where I am able to see you again.  Until we meet again. I love you very much.  Love your little sis, Karla

Dear Karla and Craig,
I find it hard to believe one year has passed since our dear brother Scott left this world.  I have thought often of him and his life and of you and how sad you have been missing him so much.
I love you and pray you are well and doing okay. Please be in touch with me.  I know it is hard to stay in touch with me being so far away in California. Know that you are loved and thought about every day.  You are in my prayers and thoughts as is our dear Scott.
Love from your Sister Sharon

Dear Scott,  It's been a year since we had to say goodbye.  I miss you so very, very much. It's Christmas time again and everyone has their beautiful decorations all aglow.  With every twinkle light I see I think of you and mom.  It's such a beautiful sight, but I'm sure it is not nearly as beautiful a sight as what you are seeing.  I played your favorite Dean Martin Christmas music all day today in honor of your memory and I lit a white candle for you also.  I closed my eyes and remembered all the good times we shared and the music took me back to such wonderful places in my memory, that I didn't want to open up my eyes and come back to the reality that you weren't here in body any more, but just in spirit.  I pray that you have found peace and happiness with our Lord Jesus Christ.  He truly is the King of Kings.  I love you and miss you very much.  I am placing a poinsettia on the altar at my church for Christmast Eve service in memory of you and mom.  I hope you look down and see it.  I wish I could hear your voice again.  I miss your laughter and your hugs.  Take care and God Bless you Scott.  I will be singing Amazing Grace just for you again, so be sure to bend an ear. Until we meet again.
Love your little sister, Karla

My Dear Brother Scott, It's been 1 year today that you went to be with our Lord Jesus Christ.  I miss you very much. I think of you daily and talk to you through prayer. I miss you very, very much. I will light a white candle today in rememberance of you. You were always a great brother and friend. I will sing Amazing Grace today for you also, just as I did on the day of your memorial service. All my love to you Scott. Merry Christmas!!  I'll see you in my dreams until we meet again.
Love your little sister, Karla

My dear brother Scott:  It has been almost 2-1/2 months since you passed on and I still miss you like it just happened yesterday.  My heart aches to hear your voice and laughter again.  I talk to you everyday dear brother.  You are in my daily prayers and thoughts.  I know you are in a much better place now.  Rest in peace Scott.  Until we meet and talk again.  All my love, your litter sister,
Karla

So sorry to hear of your loss.  My prayers are with you all.

My dear brother Scott,

Our lives were so special growing up.  We had such great times together.  You were always smiling and laughing.  You were so full of fun and love.  I remember growing up on Oak Street and mom having you baby sit me because she was going to Bingo with Grandma and Craig.  I was sad because I wasn't old enough to go, but you always made me feel better.  You would make me the coconut custard pudding and we would play games and watch T.V. together.  We had so much fun playing with your army men and when I got older you and I would paint them together.  You were amazing with your memory of such details of the way things should look.  You had such a marvelous memory with dates and events in history.  If anyone needed to know something, you were there with the answer, like a talking encyclopedia.  You will be missed in so many ways dear brother.  Growing up with you and Craig as my big brothers at home was the most wonderful thing.  I wouldn't change a thing.  Every little detail that I have etched in my memory is pure gold.  You gave me a very precious gift in my life time when you surprised me on my 12th birthday with tickets to see Elvis Presley in concert at the Binghamton Arena.  This is a memory I will forever cherish and hold dear to my heart because of you. I could go on and on about all the special times we shared together like when you would take me fishing to the pond, sometimes even when you might not have really wanted to.  You were great.  You taught me how to put the worm on the hook, which I didn't like to do at first.  You were very patient with me though and never minded when I lost a lure or didn't catch the fish on my line.  One thing for sure though, we never came back empty handed.  You would clean the fish with me and you would make a fire outside to cook them on in the cast iron frying pan in butter and onions.  We did this because mother never liked the smell of fish in the house.  They were the best tasting fish I ever had. How about the times we would go down in the fruit cellar and get into dad's food supply that he was saving for when he went hunting, like the corn beef hash, beef jerky, slim jims and sardines. It sure was delicious, but Dad wasn't too pleased when it came time for hunting because he had to replenish his supply he thought he had.  This and many other memories like it will forever remain in my memory and my children's memory as I pass them on to them.  Krystal, Lisa and Steven love to hear stories of when we were growing up and the things we did.  You will never be forgotten Scott, as your memory will live on in me, my children and their children some day.  You will always be in our hearts and prayers.  Thank you for all your love and your special way to make people around you feel good.  So until we meet again someday Scott, I will say so long for now,  as I now know you are walking along with mother and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  

With lots of love, hugs and kisses ... from your little sister Karla

I read this at Scott's funeral services on December 20, 2012.

In Loving Memory of you Scott (Scotty), our precious brother. This poem was sent to us by our sister Sharon.  It is the most beautiful poem I have ever heard, and it sounds just like what you would say to us. 
"My First Christmas In Heaven"
I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below
With tiny lights, like Heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow
The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away the tear
For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear
But the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here. I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring. For it is beyond description, to hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart
But I am not far away, We really aren't apart.
So be happy for me, dear ones, You know I hold you dear.  
And be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I sent you each a special gift, from my heavenly home above.
I sent you each a memory of my undying love.
After all, love is a gift more precious than pure gold.
It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do.
For I can't count the blessing or love he has for each of you.
So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear
Remember, I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

To my wonderful brother Scott whom I will miss very very much.  You were such a great brother.  You always made me feel special and took great care of me when I was little.  We had a lot of great times together.  I will never forget you.  Your memory will live on forever through me and through my children as I pass down the wonderful times we shared to them to remember as well.  I know you are in a better place and that you are with mother and our Lord Jesus Christ.  I know that you are whole again and have no more suffering.  You were always fond of music and movies.  Well now you are with the best choir ever.  I love you dearly.  May you always smile and be carefree. Every time I hear songs that you loved I will think of you lovingly.
I love and miss you very much.
Love for ever your little sister Karla Berthel-Kolasa and Family.

Craig,

I am so sorry for the loss of your brother. I pray that your memories of him will help you through this very difficult time.

I am so sad to hear about Uncle Scott.  Although we haven't communicated much over the years, I still loved and cared about him.  I pray that God will comfort our family during this terrible loss.

I am so sorry to hear about Scott. My sympathy and prayers go out to his family. May the happy memories help you through this difficult time. I will miss his smiling face.

I'm so sorry to hear of Scotts passing. He was such a pleasure to be around! Always brought a wonderful smile to all of our faces! It won't be the same without him. Thoughts and prayer to your family. God has gotten an Angel! Windsor Family Care

My precious, brother "Scotter", I am so saddened by your leaving us so suddenly.  You will be forever loved and missed.  You will be lovingly  remembered by me, your sister, Sharon, as a gentle loving kind soul. I was 12 when you came to us on our mother's birthday.  I helped to raise you (as did Grandma Crocker).  I was in my teen years as mother was working so hard in her beauty shop to support and care for all of us children You were like my own little darling boy. You were so adorable with your "toe-head blond hair and darling ways. Everyone one loved little Scotty.  I am so sorry that you had to suffer the way you did in this life as you grew up.  I do know that that is all past for you now as you stand in the presence of our loving Savior. You are whole and healed forever now.  Looking forward to seeing you and Mom and all the others we love and miss who have gone on before us.  Now, Scotty, you know what life was all about.  You can see clearly now as Jesus said you would when you get to Heaven...we look through a glass darkly here on earth but we will know and understand it all and will be known in the sweet by and by of the after-life.
Lovingly, from your sister, Sharon (McMahon Rothberg Kirby)
