Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Wolfswinkel family. May God wrap his arms around you in this difficult time.
John 11:23-26 Jesus said to her, Your brother will rise again. Martha said to him, I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day. Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?

My thoughts and prayers go out to all the family. Scott was an amazing classmate and friend. He would do anything to help someone out. Have great memories of Scott and will remember them. You never know when the Lord will call so we all have to be ready. Again you have my condolences.
For we dont live for ourselves or die for ourselves. If we live, its to honor the Lord. And if we die, its to honor the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. Christ died and rose again for this very purposeto be Lord both of the living and of the dead.
