Scott Tribute from: Shelley Scott Mom I'm glad you’re no longer suffering any more, you were the strongest woman I've ever known. You finally made it; you know the secret now too. I'll always miss you. See you later Mom Shelley -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Freda I wanted to thank-you for being just like a Mother to me. I·m glad you were a part of my life. I will miss the way you always made me laugh (·my name·s Bennett and I aint in it·) and watching TV Land & Nick at Nite singing to the theme of Green Acres. But mostly what I will miss is sitting on the porch together having all those wonderful conversations. Love Candice -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Message for Mom - From the Family God looked around his garden And saw an empty space. He then looked down upon this earth And saw your smiling face. God's garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best. For an unknown reason he took you up to heaven,and shielded you with grace. It broke our hearts to see you go, But you did not go alone. For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. Mommy - You will always be in my heart.
