I met Mr LaRue at the Laurels. Mom is a resident there. I'd like to share with you the joy I would see in his smile. He was always smiling. I would call him smiley. He couldn't talk and yet I felt he understood what was being said. He would get so excited and laugh so hard he'd cough. He would talk hold of my hand and place it to his face and we'd (I would talk) I'm saddened that I wont see his smiling face when I visit the Laurels. Most evertime I'd see him I'd tell him Jesus loves him very much. I hope he knew the love Jesus has for him. I'll miss seeing his smile and his tenderness as he was holding my hand.
