To the Scott Family,

May you take comfort in knowing that Mr. Scott was a caring, giving, and gentle person. I have known Mr. Scott since I was a little girl and he used to work with me at the Lunch Program. He had a way with kids and I can only hope to one day be close to what he was. God is watching over a true angel indeed.
