To Starlet and the Baker Family, I am a high school classmate of Scott's. We lost touch during college, so I didn't realize all that he accomplished! However, I am not surprised to hear how devoted he was to his wife and friends, how talented, creative, and wise. Anyone who knew him in high school could see those seeds. My heart aches for all of you who will miss him daily. We can all be grateful that the influence of his gentleness and loving spirit remains. I will keep you all in my prayers.

Starlet, I am so sorry to hear about Scott's passing. He was a godly man and a wonderful colleague. When I first began teaching rhetoric he took time out of his own schedule to mentor me and share his experience and knowledge. He was generous with his time and patient with my many questions over the years I worked with him. He was beloved by his students, and it was a privilege and a blessing to get to learn from his example. Our family will be praying for comfort and strength for you.

Mrs. Baker, I am so, so sorry. My heart is breaking. Mr. Baker was one of the most influential people in my life. I use the lessons he taught me every single day. He taught me to think, to push myself when I thought it was too hard. His love for Christ and His world radiated through everything he did. I will never be able to find the words to fully express what his teaching and friendship meant to me. He told us once that Heaven is not for the dead, but for the living. I didn't understand what he meant at the time. After hearing the news, that statement flooded over me. I think I know what he meant now. I love you, Mrs. Baker, and I am praying for you constantly. May God give you His inexplicable grace to make it through this.

Dear Starlet- I'm grieving with you. You are not alone. You are held in and surrounded by love.

Today I am listening to Scott's music, remembering how these words impacted my life and my husband's. Scott's influence is far greater than he will ever know, thousands of students were influenced by him. My prayers are with you as you grieve.
