i want to express my condolences to the family during this time. I worked with Scott at Iowa Student Loan when he was one of the supervisers. I am somewhar shocked to read about his passing. My heart goes out to his family. Weeping may endure for a night but Joy comes in the morning. I could tell Scott knew the Lord so you will see him again if you also know the Lord. Praying for his family.

Praying for you and your family. Scott was a wonderful Father and Husband. May you feel the presence of God's love, Sherri. My heart aches for you; please know that many are praying for you. Matthew 28:20 "I will be with you always..."

Sherri and family- I was so shocked to hear of Scott's passing. Sherri, you were paramount in helping me transition from PRMI, and Scott was equally helpful with my transition to ING. His wit and dry humor was so endearing, and it's tragic that such a light should be extinguished at such a young age. My heart, thoughts and sympathies go out to you.

Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time. We feel fortunate to have met Scott and to have shared family time with all of you. Over the years we have enjoyed listening to Jeff's fondest childhood stories about him and his family. I remember one in which Jeff and Scott had a brotherly brawl that the dad had to break up :) I know that Scott was greatly loved and will be missed. May you find comfort during this time of sorrow. Much love and any support you need from us.
