There was a 20 minute slide and video presentation of Scott's life. There was not a dry eye in the house. Everyone at the memorial felt sorrow at the loss of the beloved iconic mensch Dr. Scott, and the heavens, too, wept tears with a heavy downpour during the presentation.

You would had thought the pope or some famous movie- rock star or President was being put to rest. The energy was electrifying--Like a great revival the spirit and positive energies were every where. Just attending this event was truly a spiritual experience that no words or blog can put forth in words.
Mike and Nani, friends and patients of Dr. Scott's enjoy some of the food catered by Kauai's famous Chicken in a Barrel restaurant. |
approximately 1,000 people RSVP'ed, for Kauai that's an amazing figure since traditionally nobody responds to RSVP's on Kauai.People coming to the memorial were asked to carpool since this was one of the biggest events ever for Kauai's North-shore.
Many thousands viewed the event worldwide via Hawaii live-stream, some of the comments from a photo posting I posted along with a link to the live-stream are included herein;
