Edwin Libby Obituary

ELIOT, Maine ; Edwin Libby, 22, of Eliot, Maine, died peacefully in his sleep Dec. 6, 2008.

Eddie was born in Portland, Maine on Nov. 21, 1986. He was the beloved son of Linda (Buzzell) Saliba and Patt Saliba of San Antonio, Texas, and Peter Libby of Sanford, Maine.

He was a 2005 graduate of Marshwood High School and was currently employed at Rite-Aid in York, Maine. Eddie possessed a kind heart and a wonderful sense of humor. He enjoyed making those around him smile. His favorite pastimes were reading good books next to a warm fire, writing poetry and playing music with his cousins and uncle. He also enjoyed fishing, taking walks in the woods and spending time with his many friends and relatives. No matter what his pursuits, he made it a point to keep family as the most important part of his life, and though it was far too short, the time he spent here with his family was a blessing and a joy. Those who saw him grow from a rambunctious little boy to a proud and joyful young man have lived a better life for knowing him.

Besides his parents, he will be sorely missed by his adoring grandparents, Edwin and Anita Buzzell of Eliot, Maine; a brother, Alexander Greene of Eliot, and two sisters, Summer Christian and her husband, Eric, of Eliot, and Anita Libby of San Antonio. He is also survived by his aunts and uncles, Patricia and Theodore Galloway, Stephen and Leah Buzzell, Thomas and Ditas Buzzell; his cousins, Benjamin and Nigel Stanton, Emily Sawka, Nicholas Buzzell, Byron and Shannon Buzzell, and Harmony LaPrade; two nieces and a nephew, Maria, Lily and Robbie Christian, and many special stepcousins and good friends.

A period of visitation will be held this Friday, Dec. 12 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the J.S. Pelkey Funeral Home, 125 Old Post Road, Kittery, Maine, where a funeral service will be held following visitation at 1 p.m.

For those that desire to offer a memorial contribution in Eddie's name, the family suggests donations be made to the Footprints Food Pantry, PO Box 246, 37 Old Post Road, Kittery, ME 03904.

Services for the Libby and Buzzell families have been under the care of the J.S. Pelkey Funeral Home of Kittery, Maine.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Eddie, I'll miss you terribly always. I'm glad that we have met and had good times together. It doesnt matter that we doesnt know each other that well because i knew you were a such sweet guy to talk easy with and hang out, just to have good time. Rest in peace, on other hand, I'll always remember your smile all the time.

As a former teacher of Mont Blanc Academy I would like to send my condolences to the Libby Family. While Ed was at the school he grew so much, from a quiet teen, a fine young man. When Ed left the school, we all felt sadness, for we were loosing a great student, we feel that same sadness today and the days to follow.
My sincere condolences;

Eddie, he was such a wonderful person, He and I worked a lot of nights together, I was his supervisor. His smile is the one thing I remember so much about him. it would just light up when I told him what a good job he was doing. I never had to ask him to do something, he was always one step ahead of me making my job easier. The first "ice" storm we had this year, Ed went out and scraped and started my car and told me "Rose don't you worry because as long as we close together I will take care of your car" I didn't have the honor of knowing Eddie for a long time, but for the short time I knew him, I learned how important his family was to him, and loved his openess and honesty. I Will miss his wonderful smile, and the way he and his smile truly touched my heart.

Little Eddie - as my mom called him -
had clearly made a huge impact on
the family - he was a wonderful
soul with many talents and much
insight - he will be missed -
so unfair - his impact will be felt
by all that knew him, I am sure,
from the sounds of this wonderful
person...

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
