Dear Benson, King and Kari and Grandchildren,We were saddened to hear of your precious mother's death. If anyone could claim title as a "True Southern Belle" and a "Steele Magnolia" it was your wonderful Mom Dot. Her sweetness, graciousness, and fortitude throughout her life was a wonderful example to many. She was such a great friend and neighbor to us in our early married life as a neighbor on Menorah Drive. My grown children have sweet memories of her kindness from their youth. How we admired her Christian example and joy everytime we saw her. She was so gracious and happy at her 90TH Birthday party that Allison and I attended. May the Lord hold you all close and give you that "peace that passes all understanding" in the days ahead. She is "safe in the arms of Jesus."Hallelujah!!In deepest sympathy, Lee and Camille Adair

Dr Benson Scott and Dr King Scott I am so truly sorry for your loss. Your Mother was an exceptional Lady in all ways she will truly be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with ya'll and your family. Much Love, Fran

Miss you Aunt Dot! Your long life was an inspiration to us all. Rest in peace.

I have precious memories of Aunt Dot. My prayers and deepest condolences to Benson and King and your families.

Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

Dot was such a wonderful precious lady. I worked with her at Glenwood Aux. Her sweet smile was a joy, and it lit a room. I had the honor one year to give a talk to the aux. about Dot, had invited her pastor, and presented her with a purple hat, and told what an outstanding person she was. This is a true lady, is phrase that was made for Dot. Dr. Benson and Dr. King, you are in thoughts and prayers as you go through this difficult time. Your mother was one in a millon

Mrs. Scott was such a lovely and sweet lady. I am so very thankful she was chosen as my grandmother Nancy's roommate. She was truly a blessing and a great friend to Nancy. We will surely miss her. My continued thoughts and prayers are with the Scott family.

It seemed that whatever I was involved with during my youth into college and after, Mrs. Scott was there, encouraging and welcoming. She seemed to have the gift of making all of us feel so comfortable and beautiful. Her friendliness will always be something I remember and cherish. God bless all of you. Sending love.

Dr. Scott and family, my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. May you find peace in knowing that your loved one is now with our Lord and Savior.

May the Good Lord bless and hold you. He is with you. Bro Eddy, Ascend Chaplain
