Vincent Stanford, a 24-year-old Leeton school cleaner, has been charged with Ms Scott's murder.
With their son's alleged killer also facing court, Ross Noble said what the Scott family was going through resonated tremendously with them.
"Our hearts and thoughts are with them as they start the journey that unfortunately we started seven months ago," he said lastThursday.
Chris, 27, died in the massive explosion at the Rozelle convenience store last September, which also killed his neighbour Bianka O'Brien, 31, and her one-year-old boy Jude.
Adeel Khan, who is accused of murdering the trio, was listed to make a bail application in the Supreme Court last week but it was withdrawn.
Speaking outside court, Chris' mother Liz said her son's courage at sending a "message of love" to them while surrounded by the inferno has been "an inspiration for us to live by".
Khan, 44, is accused of committing 29 offences including three counts of murder, two counts of attempted murder and three counts of manslaughter.
Documents found inside Khan's Greenacre home show he was significantly behind on his bills at the time of the explosion and had last year increased the value of his store's insurance from $175,000 to $225,000, police allege.
Khan, who remains in custody, is due to appear at Central Local Court in May.
A ‘Celebration of her Life’ will be held for Stephanie Scott at 1pm today at ‘Eat Your Greens,’ located on the Escort Way, one kilometre north of Eugowra.
Those wishing to farewell Stephanie are invited to attend. Dress code is formal and light refreshments will be provided at the conclusion of the formal celebration.
