I was so saddened to read that Mrs. Scott ha passed away. You don't remember us,but we bought your house on Washington in 1968. We raised three sons there and then sold it after the boys went to college. I drive by there often and the house looks wonderful. The new owners have done some fabulous things. I remember her being very gracious to us. I am so sorry for your loss but it sounds like she had a beautiful life and a loving family Sincerely Barbara Zolla Wenk

To the entire Scott family - our deepest sympathy for your loss. Joan was our very good friend and we shall miss her so much. We shall miss our gossipy and hilarious bridge games and frequent lunches at Carver's. She was a beautiful and lovely lady.---the sisters

Mothe -- We all love you and miss you. Enjoy your new energy and release from pain...save us a place where all the food tastes like your homemade spaghetti and all the drinks like bourbon and diet coke and all the golf is bogey or better!
Lots of love, Mike
