My condolences to the Scarborough family. I was an across-the-street neighbor and friend of Bill, Jr., aka 'Billy' when he and his family lived in Gordonston back in the late 1950's.

God welcomed another 'angel' into his kingdom on Saturday. Maggie was a dear friend of our family for to many years to remember. She was a devoted friend to my aunt, Margie Teston and my mother, Vivian Kenney. I will never forget her loving smile along with her compassion for other people. My condolences to her boys whom she loved so dearly.

i can't begin to say how sad I was to see that Mrs. Scarborough Blake had died. She, her husband and her 3 sons lived 3 houses away from ours. I babysat for the boys many times. I think I was 13 years old and we had such fun until I turned on a hose one day and we had a water fight. It was great fun, but my Mother said I wasn't responsible enough so she would not let me babysit again. Mrs. S was a wonderful woman whom I adored as a child and as adult. I hope to see these grown up boys at the funeral. Your Mother was a treasure.

Tom and all of the family we are so sorry for your loss. We didn't know her but by knowing what a wonderful person you are Tom we know she had to be a very special lady. May she rest in peace and know she is with her Lord and Savior now.
