I no longer have a family.

Many people on this forum were there for me when I lost my mother two and a half years ago, Scott. Don't hesitate to lean on our support and if you need to don't hesitate to contact me.

Words can never suffice for this situation, I know that all too well, just know that while you may feel alone you most certainly are not. At the very least we are here for you.

[DC Al Fine]

So sorry to hear that Scott. Praying for you and your mother. RIP.

Scott, I am profoundly sorry for your loss. It's truly heartbreaking to read. I hope you get through this time of grief and pain and that, in the not too distant future, happiness returns to your life.

If you need someone to communicate with, you can PM me.

I somehow managed to click the final donate button at 4:20 AM. Calls to mind a time I posted a comment making a joke about weed in Atlasia and as I recall Scott himself noticed that it was posted at 4:20 AM.

Scott- I just read this. I'm so so sorry and my heart broke for you. I know nothing I or anyone else can say will make it better now, but know that you're loved and treasured, and that there's always light waiting in the horizon. It's dark now, but I know that you will make the sun rise again. I believe in you. We believe in you.

@Sanchez- I know that we haven't been seeing eye to eye at all in recent... Well, years, but I really thank you for doing this. It's incredibly important.

Don’t thank me, it was Joe Republic and Nathan who made this work. But I’m glad we as a forum could make a difference here.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Thanks again. To all of you for your kind words of sympathy. To Joe, Nathan, and Sanchez for setting this up on my behalf. I will be sharing the GFM to my Facebook.

I truly don't know where I would be without you guys.

[Elcaspar]

I'm sorry for your loss Scott. I hope that my condolences and my donation can help you trough all of this.

[Skye]

I'm really sorry for your loss Scott.

[MAINEiac4434]

Signing in for the first time in a long time to offer condolences and support. What I said on AAD still stands — if you ever, ever need anyone to talk to I will pick up the phone.

[Bacon King]

Scott -- you have been a true friend to me for years and have always been a welcome presence in my life. I am here for you, now and always. If there's ever anything I can do for you, any way I can help, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. I care for you deeply and you are not alone -- feel free to message me here or any social media platform (I'm fairly certain you are already my friend on every social media platform I use) and if you'd rather text and/or speak on the phone just let me know and I'll give you my number.

I'm contributing what I can to your gofundme and I'm sharing it with everyone I know

[jamestroll]

Excellent! Over 2,000 donated at this time! proud that I was 50.00 of it.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

If I haven't said it before (I'm smoking and on like five Lyrica now), I am incredibly impressed by the donations I've received in less than 24 hours. And the messages some of you guys wrote left me in tears.

All I can truly say is that, at the end of the day, Atas/Talk Elections is more than a blog or a discussion forum. We are a family. And I have no idea how I can make it all up for you guys right now other than to tell you I feel blessed and loved as part of this community. If I could hug each of you right now, I would.

[President Johnson]

Great idea with the donations and credit to Joe Republic and Sanchez. While no amount of money can make up your loss, Scott, I am joining my fellow posters and hope the donation helps you.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Scott, you have touched people all across the world and the country, I love you man and this whole community is yours, and you are ours, I am proud to have been on this forum with you all these years.

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

Scott, I am so deeply sorry. I cannot imagine what live must be like for you right now but know that we are all thinking of you. While I know my condolences can't come close to easing this pain, I will be contributing what I can to help get you through this. Remember that there is a community on here that will always look out for you and know that eventually things will get better.

[100% pro-life no matter what]

Scott, I don't know what to say, but I will be praying for you during this time.

[AustralianSwingVoter]

How utterly horrifying. For one person to go through so much in so little time is absolutely heartbreaking. In such tragic circumstances we can only take solace in the sure and certain hope that the Lord will be there to guide us through them.

[Joe Republic]

Wow, you guys... over $3,000 and counting.  Wow.

Scott and I are in contact about getting the money to him as quickly and directly as possible.

[Ye We Can]

I'm really sorry Scott.  For whatever it's worth, you've got my condolences and you'll be in my thoughts.

[America Needs R'hllor]

Wow, you guys... over $3,000 and counting.  Wow.

Scott and I are in contact about getting the money to him as quickly and directly as possible.

This is by far and away the greatest thing that came out of Atlas\Talk Elections since the time I've registered. I'm willing to bet since ever. Really heartening to see and I hope it can help as much as money can.

[Wake Me Up When The Hard Border Ends]

I'm really sorry to hear that Scott - I'm actually teary typing this You will be in my condolences and prayers.

[Ferguson97]

I'm so sorry for your loss. You have my condolences.

[Green Line]

RIP to your mother, Scott.  You are both in my prayers.

May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
May the rain fall softly on your fields
And until we meet again
May you keep safe
In the gentle loving arms of God
