My mother, Marie Scott, worked at Gibson's Discount Center with Myra for many years. She was very sweet and a dear friend to my mother. Sorry for your loss.
I am so sorry for your loss; please know that you are not alone; you can find much comfort in the Holy Scriptures which assures us at Psalms 34:18 that God is near to those broken at heart and crushed in spirit; please accept my deepest sympathies
Mike,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. As a child I loved riding my bike over to visit your Mom and Dad. I will remember her cheerful nature and contagious laugh as long as I live.
My condolences to you,Sara and your family.
