Special recognition to all personal caregivers and staff members of the Hospice medical home-care program. Larue was an active member of Grace Bible Church, Bradenville. She was a well-known, well-liked, and very trusted Avon representative for over 35 years her accomplishments also allowed recognition as one of the county's best confectioners, with her specialty item being wedding cakes. Her stouthearted devotion, years of sacrifice, and constant dedication to her family were shadowed only by her love and faith in the Lord. Her lap has been my refuge from lightning and thunder. Her arms sheltered me from heartbreak and disappointment. Her wisdom and understanding sustained me as an adult. Somehow "Thanks, Mom" just doesn't seem enough! Take Thy Gentle Rest, Lady!
