I want to thank everyone for being here and for those joining us in livestream.

In Scott's last few months, he would say to me, I really didn't know until now how many lives I've impacted.

I am so grateful that I got the opportunity to see it.

I wish I had a little bit more time, but I've done my job.

I'm ready, and now my wish is to keep my legacy alive by those I impacted, passing my lessons along to others.

I do believe Scott is watching over us right now and continuing to see how his presence shaped many of our lives and the impact he made on this world.

With that, I have a special video that I'd like to share with you.

Before I begin, I want to call out my husband, Pat.

who has known from the beginning of our 11 year relationship that I'm a package deal.

Not only did I come with two children, but I also came with an ex-husband who would be forever in my life.

Not your typical blended family, but I appreciate Pat's understanding, love, support through the years, as well as giving up our time while taking care of Scott until the end.

At I know you've heard a lot you've had to endear a lot about Scott, especially in the last past year, but here I go again, you might want to pull out those earplugs that I slipped into your pocket earlier today.

i'm so unbelievably grateful to have Scott in my life for the last 24 years.

Scott was public about almost everything, but when it came to his family, he was a protector.

I'll try to do my best to give you the short story of how Scott came into my life and save the long, juicy version for Scott's biography.

You're welcome, Joel.

I met Scott in 2022 at a local gym when I was working part time, taking care, taking a break from my career to raise two young children.

As you all know, Scott always had a routine.

He had a regular standing tennis date with his friend, John.

which happened to be during the time I worked.
