sad news for the Scoville Clan

On May 11, I called my mom to wish her a Happy Mother's Day on Mother's Day and found out that my dad was in the hospital because he hadn't been able to eat for the past week without throwing up. Mom and Dad were hoping to come home that evening after getting tests done. Dad wasn't able to come home until Tuesday evening. I flew into SLC on Tuesday and my sister, Juliette, was nice enough to get me from the airport.  Dad arrived home just before we arrived in Delta.   We spent a couple of nice days with my dad.  On Friday morning, my father passed away.  He was an amazing man and if we didn't believe it, we had lots of visitors to make us aware of how much he had done for the community.  Although I no longer live in such a small town, it is very nice to see the community and members of the church show love and compassion towards my mom.  Everywhere we went someone would come up to speak to us about our dad.  Even though my dad will definitely be missed, I think it shows a nice tribute to my dad and it brings me hope that my mom will not be too lonely in Delta.
