Every visit I made to my home city I made sure to connect with you. We were neighbors on CHEROKEE ST. The Lord is calling his SAINTS home to be at REST!! HE saw that you were getting tired so he dispatched an Angel to get one of his very BEST!! The parades & all of the SAINTS gatherings will not be the same without you!! Earth has no sorrow that Heaven can't Heal!!! Sleep on my friend Thomas Aka Shawee. Gus, Thomas Tissue Scott!!Until we meet again!!

WOW....Thomas Gus Shawee Scott. The list can go on & on. I use to call you Thomas Tissue too. God is calling his Saints home from their LABOR!! You were the life of any party. You always greeted me with one of the sweetest hello neighbor warm hugs. Even after COVID when I came down home for a funeral or a party...I would see you by our dear sweet friend Mary's home & what a time we would have. We were Cherokee St neighbors for a while. The Good Lord saw that you were ready to be offered. The time of your departure was at hand. Gus you made it in before me by friend. You are ABSENT from your BODY & PRESENT with our GOD!!! When this LIFE is Over WE All are going to FLY AWAY!!!! SLEEP ON MY FRIEND..Until we meet again my friend!!!
