GERALINE SCOTT

 

 

 
 
 

Geraline, lovingly known as Lena (Lina), passed away on January 3, 2010. She was a loving Mother and Grandmother to many, related and adopted alike. She selflessly put others before her own needs, despite her ongoing health problems. Intelligent, great sense of humor, down to earth, easy going, and natural, she was a woman like no other and she will be dearly missed.

To My Mom,
    
      You are my true best friend, my mentor, my Queen. You are my heart and soul. No matter which path I take from now on I know you will be with me. I will never forget your words to me or the lessons you taught. I will always cherish the love you gave me. There is no other person on this Earth that can take your place in my heart. The woman I am is the woman you helped make me to be and your strength is now my strength. I will always keep you in my mind, heart, and soul. I will try with every part of my being to keep my promise to you. It hurts that I can’t hold you now, but I know I will see you again. I love you so much. I miss you so much. I hope you are at peace and eternally happy. Until we meet again….
 
                               Love always and forever,
                                  Vanessa "Acee"

    To my aunt Lina,
    I’ve been away from home for so long that this all seems so surreal. Any moment now you are going to send one of your crazy text messages. But I know this isn’t a dream and you are gone from this earth. I took it for granted that you would always be there. I sorry for doing that. I will miss you and the smile you always had when I saw you.

    Vanessa and Gerald,
    You both are in my thoughts and prayers. I love you guys.

    Aunt Lena,

    Gone too soon…I miss you already. It is hard to believe you are gone. My heart aches because I didn’t spend as much time with you as I should’ve. I know I shouldn’t dwell on that. You would want me to remember the times we shared. I do cherish my childhood memories shared with you. You were my second mom. I have so many memories of your home cooked meals(good and bad), you combing my hair for school, allowing me to buy junk food when I wanted. Only God knows how many times you saved me from my mom (when you knew I should have been punished). I love you for that. I know the past few years have taken a toll on your health but you always kept a positive spirit. You smiled even when you were sick. I am grateful you are now at peace and that you can celebrate being healthy. I will miss you and love you always auntie Lena. God strengthen her children Vanessa and Gerald and let them know they are not alone. We are family, that will never change. Love you both and praying for your comfort.

    My sister Geraline (Lina)will be missed dearly by her big brother. As normal we never take enough time to be together since we think our love ones will be there tomorrow. I have always admired my sister’s positive attitude toward life even though she had health problems that made it tough for her. She gave a non-judgmental love to her children Gerald and Vanessa. She gave financially when she did not have it to give to make sure others in her life got what they wanted before she would get the things that she needed. That is a caring love that is hard to forget.

    May good bless Lina’s soul and reward her in heaven as she shlould be rewarded for loving others unselfishly… I will forever feel your presense and love.

    Love Always
    Larry

    Geraline (Lena), this seems to be so unbelieveable that you are no longer here. I believe and pray that you are now a peaceful wisp of energy helping others on another journey. Lena you will be missed! Vanessa and Gerald you guys are in my prayers and with that always believe that your mom is pain free and still has her hand on your shoulder guiding you. Love you
    Cheryl

    Lena, this is kebo. I know we haven’t seen each other or talked for a long time, but I never have forgotten my sister-in-law and the times we shared together. It brings tears to my eyes knowing that you are no longer with us. I can only keep in my mind the things we shared while you were here. I know how things are hard for everybody here on earth, but your love and kindness you gave us while you were here ensures us that you have a place with GOD with all his blessings. I will miss you. Kevin Heard and Family.

    Lena,you are my younger sister, who is a caring and loving person who love her childrens,family and the people who surrounded you. When we were in our younger years of life we had the most fun talking, sharing our troubles and happiness, laughing about things and people. You did not have much but you share what you had if someone needed it. You are my hero not once but twice. I would not have been here if it wasn’t for you. I regret not spending more time with you. I will miss you greatly and you will always be in my heart. God bless Vanessa and Gerald and may God guide you and keep you in his present. Love your sister Diann

    Dear Lena,

    You called me a few weeks ago asking me to do a favor for your daughter. I’m sorry I couldn’t do the favor before you went to be with God. But as I promised you the favor will be kept. Your family and I will all miss you. I thank God that he loaned us a precious angel to live on Earth as long as he could until it was time for her to join him in Haven. Lena you are gone but will never be forgotten. Your precious smile will live with us forever. Gerald and Venessa always remember your mom’s love and she will be with you forever. Love You Guys

    Odessa

    To my favorite Aunt Lena,
    On earth you shown majestic patience, an off the scale generosity, and a heroic unconditional love. The virtues of an Angle. I will forever cherish all our memories. Love U Forever
    Your nephew

    My dear sweet Lena, although we are cousins by blood you will always be my sister in my heart. You were the reason that I had a childhood without loneliness. We spent so much time together when we were younger that it is hard to believe that we saw so little of each other when we got older. I said over and over “I have to find Lena’s number and see how she is doing”. Days turned into months and months turned into years and I never did because I always thought that I had time to let you know that I was sorry that I had not made more of an effort to keep in touch with you. I thought that I had time to get back that closeness we shared when we were young. I thought I had time to let you know how much I loved you…Now my time is gone and my heart is hurting. The one thing I know for sure is that you being a kind, warm and loving person would understand and forgive me. I will miss you and love you always. Vanessa and Gerald you are in my prayers. Love you Dena.

    My Love letter to my second MAMA,

    My angel this day came far too fast it’s seems as though this is all a dream and soon I will awake, but every time I do the pain is still there. I think of you always and I wish I could make heaven wait and talk to God and ask did he make a mistake, couldn’t he give you wings for another day. I loan to hear your voice or receive a text and even call to ask if you want white castle because I am on lunch and passing your house..lol
    Although you’re gone I know you live on and doing your work above, never goodbye because you live within I will see you soon auntie, we will meet again. Fly away LOVE your job is done and from my heart to yours I have to say GOOD JOB and WELL DONE!! : )
    Gerald and Vanessa I love you we are like siblings and my home is open to either of you no matter the time or day you know where I am and you both are always in my prayers.
    With every beat of my heart I am missing you always
    Love,
    Jamie

    Aunt Lena( my Nene), I just talked to you a couple of weeks ago before this all happen and I was meaning to call you back to ask about my fav cheesecake that you made for me when I would do your hair! All this feels like a dream and that I when I come home to STL I will be able to see you. I remember all the TIME we shared together and how sometime me and Gerald would cause problems for you with us fighting. Like my sisters said you were our second mother and you would give your last to help someone else. I will miss you and all the love that you shared with me! I pray that you are with grandma and grandpa enjoying the blessing of being in Heaven with our Heavenly Father. I know now that you are at peace! I love you always and forever. My prayers are with my brother(Gerald) and sister(Vanessa) GOD BLESS toetoe

    Words cannot express my sympathy to the entire Scott family. Lina was my second mother, especially in a time when I needed her the most. I am sorry that I was too late in trying to find you all again. Vanessa and Gerald, stay strong and I will continue to pray for you all.
