We were so sorry to hear of Loveada’s passing. Amanda frequently spoke fondly of the memories she had growing up of special family get togethers with Nanny. She cooked some things she remembered learning from Nanny. Nomatter how crazy circumstances became Loveada always tried to help and treated us kindly. Hailey and Leon went to their first dress up Halloween party at her place. She will be missed.
To the Scarborough Children and Grandkids,
We are so sorry to read of Loveada’s passing. You are never ready to give your loved one up but at least you know she’s not suffering now. Kids and grandkids be saved and you will get to see her again. Jean McHone and Bud Spillars
Just wanted to say that I am so sorry to hear about Ed’s passing. Another Brother in Heaven. He and Sue will be reunited! They were an inspiration to me when I attended Sand Hill Baptist Church. We moved to Fairview and then kept in touch through cards and letters. He would call me once in a while to catch up. He loved the Lord and his brothers and sisters in Christ and had a way of showing it. May the Lord comfort you at his time with happy memories.
Hello, My name is Loveada. I am 67 years old. I have spent my whole life looking for someone with this name. I grow up with the story of my name was from a young girl my mother cared for. Her maiden name was Briggs. Father George who came from US.
