I was a Friend of Libby from working with her. I remember when the kids were born and watched them grow. I send me love to all the Wolf's that were more my family than who I worked for. Sally I know just what you are felling, kids should not go before us. Love to all

I went by to see if Libby might be on her front porch only to find out she had passed away a few months before. The news saddened me quite a bit as I had been Libby's neighboor for almost 20 years. She was very kind to me and my family to include my daughters Maggie and Rosie, whom Libby had known from birth. She always shared the simple things with us, some fruit, a conversation, a joke here and there. It was always a joy to have her around. We will miss her.

Dear Wolf Family, I was very sorry to read that Libby had passed away. Libby and I went to grade school at St. Bruno's together. Its been a very long time since I had seen Libby though I kept up with what she was doing every summer when I visited Wisconsin and saw Lynn. My condolences to the entire family.
