We at Festiva Development Group are so sorry to hear of the loss of Yvette’s father, Leroy Scott and want all of the family members to know that they are in our prayers and hearts during this painful experience of life.
My husband loved his Uncle Leroy and enjoyed his many talks with him. We know he was a good, kind, person who will go on to be with his Heavenly Father and the family members who have gone on before him.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Jo and his children and grandchildren. He will most certainly be missed by all who knew him.
