I'm not sure how to write about what has happened in the last 10 days. On October 14th, Dr. Whisenant told us that he was looking at a dying man. He said that Scott was in liver failure and had weeks, possibly months. To say we were in shock is an understatement. I was better prepared for the news then Scott was. For the past few weeks, as I watched and cared for Scott, I knew he was declining. I had even visited a Hospice website and read 'The Dying Experience' and knew that many of the signs were present. Scott had been very discouraged in the weeks prior to our visit with Dr. Whisenant, but he didn't realize how serious things were. Since this visit, his condition has worsened greatly each day. Yesterday, I had a hospital bed brought in to help me better care for him. He was somewhat conscious and while visiting him, Scott's brother Brenn asked if he should give him a blessing. We then invited all the adult family members from both of our families to join us as Brenn gave him a blessing. It was a sweet and spiritual experience to have our family here to love Scott and share this time with him. My words come with difficulty as I express my feelings that he will only be with us for a few more hours, possibly days. Liver failure is a nasty disease. I am angry that it is stealing my sweet Scotty from me. One of the most difficult things is how it has effected his mind in the last few days. Robbing the real Scott from us before his body was ready to leave. One of the sweetest things to come from the last 2 days is that he shared with Elise and I that he was being visited by angels and included us in their ranks. He also shared with Elise that his father and brother and been with him during this time. We feel so blessed to know that during the most difficult days of our lives that Heavenly visitors have been present to make all of our days easier. I am so grateful for the Spirit that is present in our home. I know that the comforter is lifting and carrying us through this time. I am also so grateful to our wonderful family and amazing ward family who have done everything possible to lighten our heavy load at this time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I love each of you more that I can express. I feel your love, concern and prayers as I move through the days. Thank you for being a part of our lives.
Love,
Susan and family

Dear Scott and Susan
My heart has been full with love and compassion as I have thought of you often during this past week. Your goodness has touched me and my family more than you know. Thank you for the light that you are, both of you. And for your deep reverence for life. Your trust in God is obvious and inspiring. Thank you. I struggle for words to express my love and appreciation. Perhaps it's enough that at least try to communicate that I love you and appreciate you very much. Tim sends his love as well.
You were in my heart as I prayed this morning that you would be comforted. When I returned from a meeting just now this video clip was in my email box. Perhaps you've seen it, but it was moving to me, and watching it brought up thoughts of you. It's a comforting, sweet message. For what it's worth I will pass it on.
