For me. there will forever be a void on Sunday mornings at GSBC. I used to look forward to seeing her after service and having her hold my hand as we talked. I pray that God will soon heal your hearts and cause you to smile as you recall all of the wonderful memories you had with Mrs. Scott, my friend.

Ardell and the Scott Family, You are in my thoughts and prayers. I pray that God will strenghten you and may he find a comforting place in your hearts. "For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning".

Remember
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
