SCOTT NEWSOM
May 29, 1993 - March 6, 2013

Scott's dad wrote: "We were so very blessed to have had Scott with us for almost 20 years. We who are left will carry on as best we can, but will forever miss his powerful but gentle bear hugs, warmth, compassion, and kindness, gentle spirit, brilliant writing, fair-mindedness, stunning intelligence,
and unique wit."

Scott wrote about Jesus:
"He ... doesn't say 'but'. He doesn't see you as a 'but' person at all; he's not loving you in spite of anything. He just loves you because he loves you because he loves you, and that's the only thing that matters".
We are thankful that Scott loved Jesus,
and that we will see Scott in Heaven.
Ten years later, we still miss Scott every day.

Some favourite verses of Scott's:
"Jesus Christ, Light of the World, burning bright within our hearts forever.
Freedom means love without condition, without beginning or an end.
Here's my heart, let it be forever Yours, only You can make every new day seem so new." - from "On Distant Shores"
by Five Iron Frenzy.
"He heals the broken-hearted and bandages up their wounds. He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name. Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit" - Psalm 147:3-5.

Scott, we who know you
love you and miss you.
Mum, Dad, Paul, Dave, Judith, Cora, Edmund, and Marie look forward
to your hugs in Heaven.
