Everything

Loved his son, also tried his best to beat addiction.

Rio felt so deeply, cared so much and lived so fully. He always made people feel safe, loved, and happy. He felt everyone’s emotions and always wanted to help others. Rio had a way with words, he was a wordsmith. Rio was a great poet and writer.

Rio loved April fools day. When he was about 12 or 13 it was the night of April fools and He realized he hadn’t played very many tricks on people. He said oh no it’s april fools day and I hardly played any tricks. I went down stairs to give him a hug goodnight. He said love you mom and he dumped a whole cup of flour on my head. I was so mad! I was tied and didn’t want to have to take a shower and had to work in the morning and my hard was full of flour a whole cup. I could have rang his neck.

His hugs his laughter and his deep deep wisdom

Caring loving funny and smart. So wise beyond his year with a love of life and deep understanding of the world.

Scott was a best friend to many. A loving son A truly caring individual. He just bought a house, engaged to be married, had a wonderful prosperous career. A man of many talents. Over 200 people attended his funeral which was held 24 hours after his passing, with so many people giving tributes to him. He had struggles in life which led him astray, sadly he tried so hard to quit the addiction many times. He was about to be married, had a full life planned. The heroin called him back one last time. Now he is my angel son. A mothers love is forever.

The whole belly laughs
