Mrs.Scott was my boss at Clairton Elementary. What a beautiful person she was. She encouraged all students and teachers to do their very best at learning and teaching. She was a caring, kind, respectful and dedicated lady. God has truly chosen another flower for his garden. Rest in peace, my friend. Your work on earth is finished. My deepest sympathy in her loss.

Mrs. Scott was a dear friend and I will miss her. When I spoke with her before Christmas, she was telling me about how blessed she was. She thanked God for every day that He gave her and even though I'm not ready to see her go, I know she was ready for whatever God's plan was for her. Knowing that she was 'a friend of God', makes her going home a little easier to bear. I pray for God to strenghten and comfort her husband during this time of sorrow. I will truly miss her.
