We the Mack's would like to extend our condolences to Mrs. Scotts (grandma Mae B) family. When I, Yvonne met Mrs. Scott about 17 years ago, and told her who my relatives were in Starke, she said "We're cousins". Our prayer is to see our cousin again, in the resurrection. Family, may Jehovah keep all of you close in heart and mind. With heartfelt Sympathy.

My first meeting Mother Scott was at Shands Hospital. I watched her walk down the hallways of Shands Hospital ensuring that all patients food services was delivered. Mrs. Scott during that period of time you didn't see a lot of blacks in management. I would look at her and say what a powerful black woman. For some reason Mrs. Scott would encourage me and I listened to her words of advice. Many years later it was amazing that we joined the Mt. Moriah church family and she was just as spiritual motivating to me as she was professional to me. I can and always hold Mother Scott in my heart with love, encouragement, peace, and hope. I admired Mother Scott smile and feeling the certainty that everything will be alright. Mother Scott physical, spiritual, and knowledge strengthen me with her presence. My husband who is a Deacon at Mt. Moriah had surgery and Mother Scott rang the door bell at our home in Archer came out to check on us. We're blessed to have been a part of such a dynamic woman. Mother Shirley Whiteside as I looked at her on Sundays inspired me how she was there for her mother. May God continue to bless Mother Whiteside knowing she did her best.
