Samantha Chyanne Scott - Online Memorial Website

Yes, little Chyanne did die, (and I know this, --because I hand my hand on her little chest when there was no more strength, no more energy to fight, and I felt her last heartbeat -- but she did not give up, her body just gave out), ---But By No Means Is She "Gone"! ! !

I am Gary Glenn, Kroger Pharmacist, the grandfather (Pappy) on the mother's side, my daughter is Kacy Glenn Scott.

I know Chyanne is Not Gone because Her "Spirit" is with me and around me all the time   She help's me through my daily life, through problems, through hard times, through depressing aspects of life in general. 

Chyanne is not only around to help me through the "low's", ... but she is also with me to celebrate, to help to create the good times, and the "blessings" that I have received many times over.

(Small blessings: ...... like the week after she "passed", when I went trout fishing to my property in Kentucky, .."of which is My most "Spiritual Places" in the world",

----The first night, .....Not only was I blessed to witness one of the longest and best shooting stars I had ever seen, which shot all the way across the sky at a time when I was talking with God and Chyanne and hoping for some kind of a "Sign".

---but before the weekend was over,  ...I was also blessed to catch the largest brown trout, an 8 pounder, and the largest trout that I had ever caught at that time ! ! ! 

---There is no doubt in my mind that this was a gift from Chyanne to me, ...to put "the fish of my dreams" on my hook that day.

  

Chyanne had an attitude of:   ..........."NEVER GIVING UP".

Never will I forget, the time on my couch as she was propted up against the arm of the couch so she would not fall over, ...and we were playing catch (note: the best she could with her very limited movement of her one arm and none in the other), ---playing with a little "foam" 8-ball, the size of a golf ball, and it rolled and got stuck in between her hip and the arm of the couch, ---she kept reaching for it , and of course, ----it was almost impossible for her to reach it much less grab it, ...But while trying to reach it, (of which she finally did), ---she looked at me and said, 

"We don't give up, ---do we Pappy, ...'No, We don't give up".

After surviving throat cancer 3 years ago and only being given

a 30 - 40% chance by "Vanderbilt", ----and my knees going really bad a year later (probably from the chemo):

     ****Chyanne came to me again, 2 days ago on her birthday,

with another gift (blessing) to help motivate me to start back exercizing again, ---after not doing so, for almost a year, when I have actually exercized rather intensly all my life.

   .....I kept hearing,

"We don't give up, ---do we Pappy, ...'No, We don't give up"

----and while exercizing on the exercize bike during the 40 minute period, ---numerous times dur this period, I spoke my thanks,

..."thank you God, thank you Jesus, thank you Chyanne"

Chyanne was only on this earth for only 3 years (and possibly,

she might have experienced more life and happiness than many people do in their lifetime),

----but she is with me, and will be with me, "Heart and Soul",

---now, in the present, and forever, --when we will meet again.                       ...........Pappy   

Chyanne I was there with you when you were born and I never left your side until you drew you last breath on February 4th 2003.  You gave me the will to live and not complain of aches and pains.  With all you went through I could never complain about small aches and pains. We had so much fun and spent a lot of time together those memories will never leave me.  You inspired so many with your fight with not only a neuo muscular condition SMA but then with your brain cancer.  We laughed we cried and we prayed an awful lot for you.  I remember so well in December after you were diagnosed with the brain cancer Dr. Mike came to me at the hospital and told me to get all the memories I could built up that you would not be on this earth long and we took a trip to Gatlinburg but you were in pain too much to enjoy the cuzie as you called it. You were to go and see Coach Phil Fulmer of UT football but you were too sick so pa and I went we stayed for a while but wanted to be with you so we thanked the coach for his prayers and left to be with you after that we left on Sunday to come home with you since you had to have a blood transfusion.  You came home and went in the hospital and then Christmas of 2002 came and went.  Grandma Juanita fixed you the dressing that you liked so well but you were too sick to eat it.  I fixed the green beans I always fixed for you. On Christmas eve we had a visitor a man came with his three sons came from out of State they said that God had told them to come and bring you gifts. Each boy carried gave you a gift and they stayed in town for several days and then they were gone.  If was as though God had sent them to be with you on your last Christmas.  We began to ask for cards and stickers and then they came in so many times you got around 10,000 or over.  You enjoyed opening them and this was a great blessing you had that Christmas (your last).  You were in and out of the hospital and I remember you want snow and it came a small snow but you did get to enjoy it. God has his way of answering our prayers.  In January you started to go down so fast and death was close at hand.  When we went to the hospital for the last time, I prayed to God that if it was his will and you were not to recover to please not let you suiffer he could take you and I would always give him the praise for your life and I would help others who had a castrophic illness through starting a foundation account for you but to help others and this was done.  I have set up an education fund for nurses or EMT to help them in school and maybe then they can help others like you. You gave me much joy in life and even in death you still touch the lives of others.  Please know angel as long as I have breath in my body I will work to fulfill the dream that life is not what we have but what we do for others. We never asked for a mansion on earth but maybe in heaven we will have one.  I know you do and someday I will be with you again and can enjoy those things that I missed for you were only on earth for three years but in heaven forever.
