Bro. Raymond, I just received the obituary of LaRue's home going from Pat Murphy in your Sunday School class. She was such a special lady. I will never forget the beautiful cards she sent to me so often. Knob would still remember the one Caregiver card he received for taking such good care of me. He would tell everyone that I got 100 cards when I was sick and he got 1 from LaRue. So glad that I was able to talk with you and LaRue on my last visit to Savannah. I will always remember her with such warm thoughts. My deepest sympathy. Good that you will be able to dwell on the wonderful life you two had together. I know Knob will be happy to see her in Heaven and he can thank her again for his card. God Bless, Ann Fields
