I have so many wonderful "Betty Libby Stories" of Holy Family Cathedal running through my mind, but the one I remember most is the miracle of loaves and fishes.

Betty was a great joy and a wonderful loving presence for me while I was at the cathedral. She was truly a saint in my life and I will hold her in my prayers. I pray for the comfort of her family and celebrate what she brought to my life. Thank you Betty!

When I think of my time at Holy Family Cathedral, some of my fondest memories are of Betty Libbey. She was a dear woman that you could always count on.
