About 3 weeks after we lost Scotty, I fulfilled a partial promise I had made to someone special, My Friend Scotty. I had my ear pierced. Time after time Scotty asked and begged for months for permission to get his ear pierced and I put it off and told him not for now but later, finally I was giving in to his request and we agreed it would happen. I agreed to join him and get my ear pierced also, and we would do this together as a I guess dad-son thing or maybe just friend thing. As most everyone knows this promise that me and Scotty made together never happened for us because of the wreck, but for me I went ahead and did this and had my ear pierced as a token of rememberance and repect for my friend and son Scott. It is remarkable the things you do for the ones you love. In this past year I would have sold my soul and everything I own to have this boy back at home, and still I would do anything for this not to have happen. I have seen and done a lot in my lifetime, I have lived a much longer life than Scott got to, I wish that it would have been me that died in the wreck instead of Scotty, but in a large way when Scott Died so did I. A big part of my heart was taken out of me, I now have this empty feeling inside that I know that will never be fixed, when I think of Scotty , which I do often, I give that earring a slight tug and think "hey Scotty I'm thinking about ya buddy". Maybe it means nothing to some people, but it does to me and if Scotty can see me I know it would to him. .
my friend / Larry, (Scotty's Dad ) I am faced with this loss everyday, in the past year it has been not just a bad dream but a nightmare. In my life I have had many friends and people that I associate with. Some friends were much closer than others. Scotty was one that I was real close to. The reality of him being gone sets with me daily and is so hard to accept. I miss his presence, his jokes and laughter, his crazy antics, his expressions, his support, his love and friendship. That is a lot a friend can offer and Scotty did that. There is still and always will be this large void in our lives here at home. People tend to avoid talking of him because it makes them uncomfortable to speak of him, I choose to keep talking of him to keep his memories going and for him not to be forgotten. That is the least that I can do for my friend and son. For me he deserves to live on and be remembered in my heart , mind and soul. I Love ya buddy, always, Dad.
A little after a year. / Brittany Theis (Friend)
It has been a little after a year sence scott has been gone and i still miss him. on Feb 22, 2006 i really didnt want to do anything but lay in bed and wish he was still here, but i couldnt all day i tried to think about all of the good times we had with him and all the smiles he put on everyones face. Scott really was a joyful person and would have a smile on his face even when times were hard to get threw. All i ever hear any more is how he is gone but hes not, he will always be with us watching us, standing by us, and comferting us when were down. So even though he might be gone he will always be with me and watch over me all the time.
Love You Lots,
Brittany Theis
Missing Scott. / Kelly Utsey (friend)
Hey Everyone. I am sorry I haven't been on here in a while. I have been really busy but, I have not forgotten Scotty. On Feb. 22 I lay in my bed allowing the alarm to go off for 30 or so not wanting to have to wake up but, I knew I had to. When I got in the car once again the fog was thick outside once again I burst into tears begging my sister not to make me go to school. Hard enough I went. I cried in class and looked like a big dork but, I didn't care I had my reason to. A year has gone by and my love for Scott is still there. I miss him more and more each day. I was just wanting to drop in and say how much I miss him. Love forever and for always, Kelly Erin Utsey
Your Moma loves you so much. / Janet Guynes (Mom) It's a year today February 22nd 2006 that my baby boy Scott was taken from our lives at the young age of 15 years. I love you Scott so very very much and miss you terribly. I keep on waiting for you to come in the library at school and say here I am Mom, but that day doesn't come. I want to hold you and kiss you and I can't, I want to talk and visit with you and I can't. You have the most beautiful hair I have ever seen and I always admired it. You have the most beautiful blue eyes and a tender heart. A part of me died when you died. I hope I can have some good visits from you in my dreams. I wish so bad that you would still be with us. I love you so much baby and miss you so much. I will always love you. Love Mom
A year now! / Larry Scotty's Dad I will never forget seeing scotty Laying lifeless on the ground, knowing there was nothing I could do to undo what had happened. I don't ever think I have felt so helpless, and lost before in my life. This past year has been long and hard for me and my family, and I know it is just the start. Every parent I feel is so proud of their kids, and loves them, yes we see inperfections in them, but yet in most ways we overlook ther imperfections and in our eyes they are perfect. that is the love that we carry for them. Scott carried that love to us as we did and still do to him. In my studies of the afterlife, I have found that everone that has had a near death experience has found themselves surrounded by love and peace. I know scotty has that now, and when I start my day I feel that love and peace come around me as a gift from him, it is like he is saying, I love you Dad, hang in there. this little guy taught me a lot as I guess we taught each other while he was here this short time. I don't know if anyone will ever really know how much he is missed here at our home and how much of a void and emptiness there is here without our Scotty. I don't know why we have to go through these things like this in life, I have asked why so much in this past year, and I can never get an answer as I guess I never will. all I know is that me and my family have a hurt deep in our hearts from losing this wonderful kid "scotty" and I know there is nothing we can do that will fix it. I hope that keeping this website up will preserve his memories and that his friends and relatives have been and will be helped by it. Scotty, if there is someway you can read this message and if you know my heart, I love you buddy, thank you for allowing me to be your dad and friend. I know from past experiences that a real friend like you doesn't just happen, realfriends are few and far apart in life, and you Scotty you were and are a real friend. someday we will meet again, and until then I hope I made you proud as you did make me so proud to be your Dad and Friend. Love always, forever your Dad, Larry

Happy Valentines Scotty / Anthony's Mom You are so missed by your family, give them a big hug today sweetie. You all are in my prayers and thoughts. God Bless~~
Scotty's family..... / Cheryl Armore (Angel Friend ) I wanted to let you know how touched my heart is reading the tribute you memorialized for Scotty. I know your pain, one which is never ceasing, but with God's help, He helps us endure. My sincerest condolences are extended to all of you as your approach the date when Jesus took Scotty's hand and led him personally up the staircase to heaven. And now that Scotty is in God's loving arms, may that bring you some comfort during this journey......Scotty, you are so loved and missed.........Until you and your family are joined again, envelope them in your warm, loving arms and help them to find some peace. Hugs to you, Scottie, Cheryl Armore (Angel Mom to John Armore)
If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.
If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it.
He sends you flowers every Spring.
He sends you a sunrise every morning.
Whenever you want to talk, He listens.
He can live anywhere in the universe, but He chose your heart.
Face it friend, He is crazy about you!
God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.
I believe in angels That they're always hovering near Whispering encouragement When clouds suddenly appear
Protecting us from danger And showing us the way Performing little miracles Within our lives each day
Yes, I believe in angels And I'm sure you do too And I'm convinced that angels Are always watching over you
GOD BLESS YOU ANTHONY'S WHITE'S PARENTS

Sorry for your loss / Shannon Evans (cousin) Uncle Larry, I'm so sorry for your loss. I wish I would have met Scotty. I couldn't even fathom losing a child. I won't even pretend to know what you and your family are going through. But I do pray for you to have peace of mind and comfort through your memories. May God Bless you and help each day be brighter for you.
Your Niece,
Shannon
Wishing you.... / Diane Cassidy- Angel Mom-Katie Wishing you peace to bring comfort
Courage to face the days ahead
And ~~~~~~~
Scott's loving memories to forever hold in your hearts!!
Waking Scotty up in the morning, which wasn’t easy to do( he loved his sleep)
That smile when I ribbed him about something
His sense of humor
Scotty’s optimistic outlook on life and disposition
Listening to Scott’s Dreams, wishes and goals in life
Listening to Scott talk of his friends and their fun times
Hearing his voice and laughter
Getting that occasional hug
Wrestling around with Scotty
Scott working with me on a Photo shoot
Scott working with me on the Camaro
Scott being there as a friend
Scott being there as a son
Scott always traveling with me
Watching movies, sports and TV together
Going to the movies n more and renting videos
Watching Scott play his Play Station
Buying him PS2 Games
Getting him things
Watching him clean his chucks tennis shoes
Scotty’s comments and come backs
Our name calling contest to each other
I miss seeing his excitement about his friends and family
I miss our Firecracker and bottle Rocket battles.
I miss his practical jokes
When my days were rough and bad starting, I miss Scotty lifting me up and turning them around
Waiting for him to come home from School
Feeding him his favorite dish
Taking Care of him when he didn’t feel good
Hearing him talk about a song
Hearing him sing a song
I miss not crying and not hurting all the time
I MISS MY SCOTTY, MY FRIEND, MY SON
How could anyone not miss all of this?
Love always Dad
MY CHILD / SELMA FLYNN BOBBO.MEMORY-OF.COM (friend) "MY child
On the day God took you
I thought that I would die
I wondered where the time went?
I asked alot of whys??
With people all around me
I felt alone inside
From all their words of comfort,
I couldn't seem to hide, I thought I might be dreaming
That I'd wake and find you here,
I thought "This can't be happening."
As I wiped another tear.
On the day that you were laid to rest
My heart broke yet again,
I wondered if the pain would end,
But mostly, I wondered when??
It's hard to be without you,
At times the days seem long,
Sometimes I just sit crying,
When there's really nothing wrong.
I wish we'd had more time,
Before your life was done.
I hope your resting peacefully,
My precious child,
Poem I wrote during class / Kelly Utsey Hey every1 I was in science on September the 22nd and was thinking real hard about him bcuz at that moment in science that very time was when i heard about scott and my imediate reaction was to cry and yell out but i knew if i did that they would have sent me to the office for interupting class so I did the "write it out thing" and came up with this.
There are so many question I have to ask, and that someone needs to answer. As in, Why did you have to leave, Why did this happen, and most of all, WHY YOU????? I hear you say you don't know and that you are sorry but, Sorry can't mend this broken heart back. As I start to look back, I get angry at the fact you had to go and the tears silently slide down my face. Once again I hear you say you are sorry but, Sorry isn't in the perscription book for a broken heart.
-Kelly Utsey
I personaly dont think that is all that great but, you know, I just had to post it. Hope every1 is doing ok Kelly
