To the family of Mr. Scott,

You have my sincerest condolences. I used to provide footcare for him, and found him to be so personable with a hardy laugh that makes me smile just thinking about it. He was blessed. I am reminded of Psalm 91: He shall call upon me and I will answer him; I will set him on high, because he has known my name. With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation. Fly free, Mr. Scott, and thank you so much for the privilege of having known you.

Brenda, Sherald and Pat,
I am so sorry for your loss. May God continue to Bless and Comfort you during this difficult time. I am so happy I had the opportunity to spend time with him a few weeks ago.
Sincerely,
Vera J. Smith

Brenda & Family,
Mr. Scott spent several years participating with the Seniors Ministry's activities at Wallingford Presbyterian Church. Our time spent with him was an enjoyable one. We have few men that attend the activities, and Mr. Scott was always a true Christian, Black Man. Remember, God makes no mistake, he is resting with the Savior and his legacy will live on, in our hearts, forever. He will be missed.

It is with Great Sadness that I did not see my Cousin Jacob before he left us for a Greater Place with our Lord and Savior! To My Family I send my heart felt love and prayers at this most precious time in loss of a Father! Be Strong in the knowledge that He has moved on to a greater reward and his life was filled with love and grace!
I send these words in hopes it find you celebrating Jacob's life and memory as he lived it!

Patrick G. Gilliard

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
