Bob, Mary and Ann,
Daddy (A. B. Knott) passed 9/14/12; we would often ride by the Scarboro homeplace. Since he's gone, I'm not often by there but do remember you 3! May you receive God's hope and peace this Christmas as you celebrate Jesus' birth without Kaye being bodily present. Love, Jeanne Knott Gunter

To the Scarboro Families
Robert and His families and His Siblings
Only God Can Repair
Only God can repair the hurting and painful heart and that is the reason He directed us, in the spirit to say and to comfort you like this. So many are concerned about what they will receive. Someone believe that you are different and someone believe that you may have thoughts about giving, yet wondering how you will be able to make through all of this and still come out on top. God gave a message for you in two parts:
First: Enthusiasm. Don't know it, don't block it, unlock it. It is power. It is breakthrough prayer power.
Second: Turning Point. You are there. Someone have a feeling and you are anxious about certain pressing matters. One thing which someone cannot doubt is that God wants to intervene in matters that trouble you and the Father knows what action eneds to be taken.
Enthusiasm is, in reality, the will be and to do. It is the pwoer of God working through you to create and acheive the dreams you hold dear. Someone feel that the Lord impressed upon all of us to give this word of comfort to your partner, You can afford to make new plans. God only needs to be believed.
Sincerely yours,
Anna
To Robert:
I truly am so sorry to hear of your wife's passage. I hope these words I wrote may be of comfort to you and your families and your siblings.
Also including the Riddle and The Williamson families that are related to you and send God's love and comfort words to you All.

Dear Bob, I was sorry to read of Kaye's passing. Your mom and dad spoke so highly and fondly of Kaye when she was growing up. I can see the smiles on their faces when they expressed how special she was.
Seeing all of you (Mary and Ann, too) warmed my heart today. Your family was always so special to my family--A. B. and Mary Horton Knott and my sister Mary Ann.
May God and your fond memories comfort you. Jeanne Knott Gunter

My deepest sympathy for you and children. I was former President of Captial Deaf Seniors I knew her a short time, but I felt like I know her for a long time. She was so sweet person when I sat down with her and talked. She will be greatly missed. She is going to be all right. May God comfort you all in time of sorrow. Remember all gifts she gave you all in her life is not like a wrapping gifts. It is her laughs, her cooking, her joy, her love for you and children.
