Hello, my name is Erica, I was a caregiver for Mrs Evelyn for a very short time through premier home health care. In that short time I really grew to love and adore Mrs Evelyn. I have checked up on her after I moved away, periodically, via the Internet, to see how she is over the years and I am very saddened, yet overjoyed to see she has gone home to be with the Lord. My deepest condolences to the family!!!

I worked with Mrs. LaMotte through the Volusia schools. I so admired her soft spoken, intelligent advocacy for our children. She was truly one of Volusia County's finest. Peace and love to all the family.

Evelyn LaMotte was one of my heroes. It was such a privilege to have worked with her and to have her as a friend. I have so many treasured memories of our attending state Counseling conventions, working on projects together, and sharing stories about our families. She will be always in my heart and feel I am a better person for knowing her.My deepest condolences to her family.
