Aunt Lib,
Boy would I love to hear your voice and see your smile. I love and miss you so much. This hasn´t gotten easier but I have learned how to still get through each day without one of the most important people being here in physical form. I know you continue to look after us each day. Kiss Mama and Paw Paw for me. Love you always

Lib was one of my best friends growing up and it seems that her lovely and caring personality was what she came to be best known for. I will miss the chance to catch up on things with you but I know that you are in God's hands and may your family be comforted by those thoughts.

I did not know Lib personally but I feel like I did through the heart of my cousin, Bennett Ray Segears who I know cared for her so much; and through the eyes of my sister, Brenda Wilson, my brother Ralph "Chuck" Wilson and Brenda Yongosi from the Avante staff who spoke of her with such fondness. I am stunned at her sudden departure from this life, but from the kindness and love she shared with others, I believe with all my being that today she is resting in Glory.

Losing someone so close is never easy. There are times so soon after a loss when the pain feels almost too much to bear. But to Bennett Ray and Lib's family, know that your love will outlast that pain, as you will find that sweet place deep in your heart where so many beautiful and treasured memories of Lib will live forever. And in time and I hope it's very soon, all of those memories will give you comfort. I pray for the day when you will be able to smile at the mention of her name as you remember her with love.

I am with you in your hour of bereavement and I offer you my sincerest condolences.

Tomorrow is not promised, live every day as if it's your last...Love, Share, Be kind, Smile, Laugh, Give Praise...Be Blessed!
