    Scott and Kayla, we are so very sorry to learn of the loss of your dear parents. Although we didn’t personally know your parents, we are sure that they entered into heaven hand and hand; never to be parted. May you find comfort in the prayers from friends, the memories of good times shared, and God’s promise of eternity for life lived in Him. Sending our love and prayers from your Scout family in North Carolina. Darin, Angela, and Dylan Marlowe
