Sylvia -- We've been remembering Lib with such joy, thinking about strawberry daiquiris at the little yellow cottage and watching White Christmas and eating crab casserole and laughing whenever we were together. We are thankful her days of suffering are ended and she is at home with the Lord and your beloved parents. We are asking God to hold you close as you mourn and miss her. You are not alone. We love you.
Melissa, Hank, Matt and Elizabeth
