Tibey,
When I called your house yesterday and Louis told me you had gone to Heaven.Louis wanted to be the one to tell me.He loves you so much!!
My heart broke. You were so kind and loving to me.I was calling to tell you I was coming for a visit.
I had called two weeks ago and heard you were in the hospital. I sent a message and hope you received it.
Everyone thought you were a tough cookie.You were; I got to know the warm center of that cookie, a side of you that not many people new, I told you , you were like a second Mother to me.
Whenever I made it home we always made time to go to Tatnuck and have lunch and you would enjoy watching me eat, because you were just so happy to see me and that went both ways.You allowed me to give you big hugs. You really were a Softy. Now your with Ed & Sam and in no pain; so for this I am greatful . I loved you Tibey, and I will not forget you. You were one of a Kind!!
Love,
Susan
