The body is mortal but the soul is eternal.
We love and miss you son,we will see you in heaven some day.
“When tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart. For every time you think of me I’m right there in your heart.”
Cece,
On behalf of Mom, Eddie and Tim, please know you are in our thoughts. I envision Tony and Greg are already up to no good. I’m finding that the quality of my life is not defined by the number of friends I boast nor the collection of material items I acquire. The quality of my life is defined by the energy I invest in the things that are most important to me; family and friends. By such measure, Tony was a gem.
To Cece and the rest of the family, I’m so sorry for your loss. Tony was a sweet man & will be very missed by so many people. Your thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this very difficult time. Remember how much you loved him & it will get you though this time. XXOO
From my family deepest condolences remember we will see him in the rapture god loves beautiful flowers on his table stay strong .may god bless you and keep you
We are so sorry for your loss. Tony sounded like an awesome guy. Let the laughter of yesterday help you through the sorrow of today. Love 9 and Steve.
To the entire Scoggins family, I know you are suffering a huge loss with the passing of our dear Tony. He was a fine fella and friend to all. It was always a joy to see him and his smiling face. Please know that my thoughts are with all of you.
Heart felt prayers to the entire Scoggins family.
My heart and prayers go out to the whole family. May God grant you the comfort you seek.
After life’s fitful fever, he sleeps well. Prayers to you Tony, Cece and your family.
Cece and Scoggins Family,
All of you remain in my prayers. I am so sorry for your loss. I know Tony is celebrating with our Savior. The last time I saw him at one of our reunions he was telling me about his faith in Christ and how much joy it brought him. He was encouraging me and was so excited about my journey into ministry. He will be missed, but the reunion in heaven will be glorious! “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.” Rom 8:18
Cece and all the Scoggins family,
We are truly sorry to hear of the untimely passing of Tony. He was a precious old friend. No words can capture the deep felt loss that you are experiencing. Please know that your Father will hold and comfort you through the difficult days ahead. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.
CeCe, please know that we are lifting you up at this difficult time. We also are celebrating Tony’ s life and his graduation from this life.
Our love, thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Praying for the entire family that our Lord will continue to give you strength.
We are sending you our love, thoughts and prayers. Tony was a very special person and will be greatly missed.
Words cannot describe the sadness in our hearts. You have always made us feel as if we are a part of your family. For that we are forever grateful. We are praying for you all.
When you lose someone that you love, take comfort in
knowing that those who were saved are now with God. For
it is written that when we die; The dust returns to the
ground it came from, and the spirit returns to
God who gave it. ( Ecclesiastes 12:7 )
For God so Love the World, he gave us Life to pursue our Dreams,
Hopes, and Realities.
R.I.P Tony
Colt For Life !!!!
A child of the King is not been lost, he has just returned to the palace. He has finally made it home after a long journey. I imagine his written about smile is beautiful there.
I know this change is hard for his loved ones here, but God is extending His love, comfort, & peace to each of you, so let Him in to heal your heart & souls.
God’s Abundance of Grace to you all.
Much Love in Him,,
Your family in Christ (part of LCC)
