Oh the thoughts of childhood friends enough call cousins. Pam, mark, and I do remember Scott being born. Playing down those carpeted stairs off of state st., farmhouse playskool, and drive ins! When I heard he started for Walt Disney, I was jealous as we probably all were. Too my mom´s longtime friend, Anita, my heart is broken with the thought of you losing your child. I´m left with good thoughts and my prayers are with you all. Love, Shannon
