From the time the Scotts moved to New Jersey the Scotts ecame our neighbors as well as dear friends. Judy was like a sister to me and Mars. Scott was like a second Mom. She and Judy were always so special to me. Judy and I were like sisters from the time we were about 4 years old. She was my maid of honor and I was her bridesmaid when she and John married. After we were separated by miles and a lot of busy life we still kept in touch & never forgot each other’s birthdays. I became concerned when I mail their Christmas gifts and cards & didn’t hear from them. I went on line and discovered there passing. I’m just devistated. The Scott’s were the best part of my childhood. I have the most wonderful memories. They will both be in my heart and thoughts forever. I’m so sorry for your loss. If at all possible I’d love to hear from you. Janet
