J. SCOTT DYER 8-8-63 4-25-97 Your murder has left me no choice but to go inside and see what's broken. It was too cruel, too far, too much, and too soon for you to lie down. My soul must be an impossible Iron, for my fear is naked. Hatred, weakness, and sorrow seem to keep you alive in my heart. Your death changed everything. The ground is not the rock I thought it to be. But you are living in God's kingdom now, Heaven is what you've gained. Now that I have witnessed crime in its most utter filthy way, I've made a plan to change my life for the better and I plan to stay. With God as my knight in armor, my backbone to face the real, I now understand how much goodness can come from how I feel. I know someone knows the guilty, but they hold in too much fear. I miss you more and more Scott as this day ends your third year. Your sister, Kodie. I love you Daddy, and I miss you a lot. A whole lot. Your son, Chase . Scott , I still find flowers and sweet notes that your friends leave on your grave. You are loved and missed by so many. Love you forever, Mom, Family and friends.
