To all those that have left reflections for our family and in memory of Scott - we thank you. I didn't know this web page was here til this day when I happened to google his name to see what came up only to be blessed with all the wonderful reflections.

21 Years later and it still seems like yesterday, when that knock at the door, forever changed our lives. Although Scott is not here today, he will never be forgotten. I pray for the safety of all the officers that serve and protect us every day. Scott died a hero saving the lives of others in that convenience store only to lose his own life. I am thankful to the men and women of the Harris County Sherifffs Dept for all that they did to capture the men and put them in jail. Those men took from us the most precious thing in life - my son's father, my husband and the son and brother of my loving in-laws.

In just a couple months, our son will be married and start his own life. Scott would be very proud of the man he has become, just as I am. It sad to know that his Dad will not be here to witness this marriage as he begins on his new path with his beautiful wife, but I do know that Scott will continue to watch over us on this day and every day as he did and continues to do as our guardian angel.

Scott, We miss you and love you dearly. May you rest in peace and continue to be our Guardian Angel not only to your family but to all your felllow officers!!

Love,
Robin & Justin
