Subject: We miss Scotty so much!

 
I know that the Pomponio family is very late in writing a letter .After more than a month,  it is still so painful that Scott is not here with us, that I cry writing this now.  We have been so busy campaigning for a capital murder charge,that expressing our pain has been put to the side. Unfortunately, our crusade to punish the animals that took Scott from us was not successful.  Now it is time to grieve, not only that we lost one of our very best friends, but the fact that a very dishonorable and pig headed man named Tom Verge, broke our hearts by not giving us justice.
 
I miss so much about Scott that I am not sure where to begin. I miss his mischievous smile. I miss our long talks. I miss all of my girlfriends,(married and single) saying "Wow, who is that?" Out of all of Jason's friends in the Navy, Scott became my little brother and my friend, not just one of the guys. He was the most charming, light hearted and sweet people I have ever met and probably ever will. The thought of never hugging him again breaks my heart over and over. Seeing my husband in more pain and grief than I ever have kills me. The thought that my daughter, Hailey, will never dance with her Uncle Scott again is just unbearable. Hopefully one day all of our memories of Scott will make us smile, but I guess deep wounds take a lot of time to heal.
 
God bless all of you in your grief.
