We would like to give a special thanks to Amedisys Home Health and Amedisys Hospice, to all the nurses, physical therapists, and occupational therapists, and a special thanks to The Cambridge House for the excellent care they gave her for three months in their Physical Therapy Nursing Skilled Unit. They were very aggressive with her treatment for her wounds from a bad fall and they had her well when she came home. She was loved by so many people. She had her Ruth Street Church Family, and her small community neighborhood. They were all there in a matter of seconds. They were all very supportive, and included the Rev. Lawrence Stout and family and the Rev. Tony Deel and family who deserve a very special thank you. A special thanks goes to caregiver and special friend Neece Mumpower. Funeral services will be conducted at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 18, 2012, from Weaver Funeral Home Chapel with the Rev. Jackie Franklin Cox and Pastor Jackie Lynn Cox officiating.
