I walked through Taipei city and saw our youth life that we share together; landed in the same airport I picked you and James up when you last visited. Heart breaking that I lost my dearest cousin. You will be always in my heart, rest in peace.
We loved celebrating birthdays, New Year's and working on affairs related to Trinity Lake. She was a devoted wife, loving mother, wonderful friend, tremendous cook and greeted everyone with the biggest and brightest smile. We all have many special memories to reflect upon and share amongst all that love her. Sending Love Burton/Scott Family.
