Visitation 3-9 p.m. 30 In Memoriam SCOTT TAMS May 2, 1960-May 31, 1999 Happy Birthday, Scott! Seems only yesterday that you were just a baby. Each year you brought so much joy to us, and all who knew you. Those years passed much too quickly, but they were wonderful years, filled with treasured childhood memories. Too soon you grew into a young man, and then married.

Life couldn't have been more perfect, with so much love and happiness. Then cancer caught us all off guard. Oh Scott, not you! Why? You were always so healthy and full of life. There wasn't anything you couldn't do, and was always done with ease and perfection. You fought so brovely to conquer this demon for 9 years without ever complaining.

But when God knew your suffering was wearing you down, He called you home to Heaven. We feel lost and lonely without you, and miss you so very much. We are forever grateful for those special years that you were with us. Today on your 43rd birthday, and with all our love, we join the angels in saying, 'Happy birthday, Mom, Dad and Lauren 50 Florists Dierbergs Florist Funeral Home Deliveries 7 DAYS A WEEK Display Book at Stores Order 24 Hrs. 314-692-2000 Netties 771-9600 24 Hrs.
