Troy, Dolores, and Tony,
My deepest sympathies go out to you at this time. I hadn't seen Libby in a long time, but she was a super woman. I remember all the times that I spent at your house when we were young, and she was always a gracious and loving person. Just remember, she spent her first Christmas with Jesus this year, and it won't be long until we're all there with her. I will remember you all in my prayers, and ask God to give a little extra dose of grace and mercy for you.
Love you all.
