Not sure what to say?

From the very first time I met Libby Denebeim when she was running school board I loved Libby Denebeim. When Community Living Campaign honored Libby and I saw her list of accomplishments including a large family, I was in awe! So many of us owe Libby Denebeim much thanks. I am sorry for your loss. I am giving a donation to Comunnity Living Campaign in her honor.

Before joining the Community Living Campaign board and serving with her all too briefly, I had not realized how closely Libby's vision and participation were so intertwined with much of the best of San Francisco's caring and giving tapestry. What a creative, results-oriented presence she was, and ever will be. I think I will honor her best with my own renewed commitment to caring and giving and service. And, I'll chuckle at the tart, on-point contributions from this volunteer leader who...

Among all of her lifelong achievements, Libby was also a dear friend of my mother, Elizabeth (also Libby) Emmert Allor. I last saw Libby when she spoke at my mother's memorial service in 1999. She was a lovely presence at the service, and so thoughtful and well spoken. They had recently taken a cruise to Alaska together and I see their smiling faces together now as well. My deepest sympathy to all of the Dennebeim family on their loss. Wishing you peace.

Libby will be missed by so many. Although we can"t be with you on the 26th, we will honor her memory in Columbia, Missouri with love and gratitude for her life.

Libby was heart worker. We are all beneficiaries of her human rights legacy and her ability to lead with discipline and follow though. I was inspired and relied on her in our endeavors when she Co-Chaired the Capital Campaign at the Women's Building and Chaired the Board at SAGE during very trying times. Thank you Libby and family.

A person is blessed if they're able touch or impact another's life...imagine all the blessings gathered for you.

I feel blessed to have known you, and the world is a better place because of you.

Rest in peace.

My deepest sympathy to the family of Libby. I worked for her at Council of Jewish Women in San Francisco, and was a fellow resident. I am so sorry for your loss.
