Scott B. Wilson

Scott B. Wilson

In loving memory of FF/Paramedic Scott B. Wilson

March 8, 1976 — April 8, 2001

Ten years ago I said goodbye

I held your hand and cried

I wondered how I’d raise our son without you by my side.

I want you here, I need you here

I can’t do this alone

But God had other plans for you

Another hero had gone home.

As days turned into weeks and months turned into years

The baby boy you left behind

Would help to dry my tears.

He’s so grown up at ten years old

So much he wants to do

He reminds me of his Dad

Always looking for something new.

Ten years seems like a lifetime

Still here we are again

Celebrating the life you lived.

Until we meet again
