My Dearest Aunt Lib, I will miss you terribly. You were just like a Mom to me. Especially after me losing my wonderful Mom. You were always so good to me and all my family. I will never forget the wonderful times you and Uncle Nick would take me and my children to Jolly Rogers. I know you are in a better place with all our loved ones who have gone before you. Rest in peace! Love and miss you so much already, Your loving niece Jennie
