Scott's parents and brother sat in the front row of Dunwoody United Methodist Church Sunday evening. They didn't get up to the podium to speak, however, several friends and family including Danielle Jones did.

"Mr. and Mrs. Scott thank you for everything you did to create an amazing person," Jones said.

The Scott family has always been strong in their faith and Halle was no different. She loved God, her friends, her family and they'll never forget the joy she brought them.

The Scott family has tied red bows all over Dunwoody, Scott's hometown. The family wants everyone to remember the light Halle Scott brought to the world.
