Scott was and is and always will be my little brother.  Back in the 1980's I visited him in prison and introduced Scott to the Lord Jesus Christ there.  Scott introduced many prisoners to Jesus after that and they became my penpals.   Many gifts and talents were evident in Scott from a young age.  He was born with the gift of carpentry and framing and blueprint abilities.  There are many mansions that would not be in Florida had it not been for Scott.   He once took me on a tour of the beautiful homes he built and I am still in awe.   Scott was blessed with two children whom he loved dearly.  Twenty years ago, he vowed to live to see them grow up.   He went through unspeakable pain and suffering but never gave in to death during those 20 years.   Scott never stopped loving Jesus and Jesus never stopped loving him.  Scott is now in eternity with all who loved Jesus during their earth lifetime, the ones who received Him as their one and only Savior.  My heart rejoices.  Here is a poem that Scott wrote back in the 80's in prison that he gave to me.  It is very prophetic as it explains how his last day was  on July 31 2020.   He did not die but stepped over into where the flowers never die and there is no more suffering or tears.  He named his poem "Jesus".   "When you are discouraged and start feeling low, there is only one thing you need to know.  There is a power so mighty and it's a proven fact, it doesn't matter where you are at.  Your voice will travel to the highest star, you don't have to speak your voice out loud, your thoughts will travel throughout the clouds, speak the truth and in your heart you will find, there is no way you can be left behind.  So don't be afraid, because in the end, if you truly believe, Jesus will take you to be with Him."   I love you Scott and will see you in heaven when I get there.   John 14:6  Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life and no one can come to God unless they come through Jesus Christ.
