Sally, I am so sorry for your loss. Praying for God to give you strength through this and sending my love.
To the family, my sincere condolences for the loss of your loved one. As you cope with your loss, may you be comforted by the “Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort” (2 Cor 1:3) that one day, “all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.” (John 5:28, 29) May the words from God’s word, the Bible give you comfort now and real hope for the future. My deepest sympathy.

Mrs. Munroe, I knew Scottie thru Kroger Pharmacy. He was always so pleasant to help…..never in a hurry and usually something funny to say to start my morning off. I always enjoyed listening to him with his wonderful accent.
I am truly sorry for your loss. May God give you comfort and peace.
