I can find no workds that would possibly take away your pain. Mrs. Scarborough was a great influence on many lives. It was always a joyful experience to sit and chat, reminiscing over fond memories of her teaching experiences. Take pleasure in knowing that she is at peace, no more suffering no more pain.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Mrs. Scarborough. She was my home economics teacher in high school. I would always stop and talk with her at the nursing home whenever I visited my grandmother. But I'm glad to know that her suffering is over. With my deepest sympathy.
