Scott Ford

Dear Lisa and family,

We were so sorry to learn of Scott's death. We're glad that Jay got to see you about a week ago. You know that our youngest grandson is named for Scott - Patrick Scott McGovern. I'm sure you also know that Scott was in Elizabeth and Jay's wedding. He was Jay's best friend for all of those years growing up in Beaumont and beyond. We loved the times that we were with him at Toledo Bend. You could tell how much Scott loved you by the sparkle in his eye as he looked at you or talked about you. He was way to young to die and he will certainly be missed. May God's love comfort you and the family at this difficult time.

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads his white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. He is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch him until at length he hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.
Then somone at my side says, "There, he is gone!"
"Gone where?"
Gone from my sight. That is all. He is just as large in mast and hull and spar as he was when he left my side and he is just as able to bear the load of living freight to his destined port.
His diminished size is in me, not in him. And just at the moment when someone at my side says, "There, he is gone!" There are other eyes watching him coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout, "Here he comes!"
And that is dying. - Henry Van Dyke

We'll miss you, Scotty Ray! Heaven is certainly more glorious with you there.

Much love, Carol

What an honor it is to have had Scott as a son-in-law. Scott was an honorable man, kind, loving, and generous. We shared a special bond. I treasure the years we had Scott with us, and will treasure his memory. Most of all I appreciate the love he shared with my daughter, Lisa. They were a joy to watch as husband and wife. I appreciate them more than words can express.
The Ford family is a special, loving, family and I am thankful they have been in our lives these many years.
May the Lord sustain us all in our time of grief. May we find solace in knowing that we will be together again in heaven.
I will always treasure and honor Scott and the memories.
Love,
"Mother-in-Law" ( Scott's endearing name he called me)

Lisa,
I am so deeply sorry for the loss of your husband. I have been praying for you both and will continue to do so and lift them up to heaven. Just know that God is with you every step of the way day by day helping you now and through the trying times ahead. Love ya bunches!

My sincere sympathies to Lisa and to Scott's family.

I sorrow in your loss. Scott was always a pleasant and jovial person to be around you. He was very helpful to me while he worked at Beaumont Rice Mill. We enjoyed sharing hunting stories. I will be out of town. Coach Donaho

Lisa--My heart is broken with the loss of Scott. I will treasure every memory! Looking forward to being with you, family, and friends on Friday. Much love, Nancy

Lisa
My deepest sympathy to you as you endure the pain of losing you loving husband. Know that he is in the arms of the shepherd, who will always keep him safe and free of pain. I know Scott will always be in your heart, and you will have happy memories of your life together come back to you in time. Know too that I will continue to offer prayers up for your strength and comfort as you grieve. God will be there for you, and so will we all.
With Love, Your Sister in Christ,
Wanda

Dear Lisa:
