Not sure what to say?

Sadly just learned of dear Gibby's death when we called to wish her happy birthday. Gibby was my Aunt Fran Vaughn Wilson's longtime best friend and I loved her like an aunt. She cheerfully did so much good for so many people! We will miss her.

Gibby befriended my single cousin Jean late in life. She encouraged Jean to make substantial gifts to Cayuga Medical Center, The Racker Center and SUNY Cortland. Gibby, your work is done. Michael, Laurie and Tina

She was one of the grandest of ladies...We'll miss you Gibby!

Dear Aunt Margaret:
You will be very sadly missed by me and my family. You did so much for us. We enjoyed the last few years of you being with us at Thanksgiving. The kids all loved you as did I. You were my second mother. I will always remember you.

My heart aches with the loss of my close and special friend, Gibby. There are no words to express how difficult it was to comprehend her passing.

It was always pure joy when Gibby came to my store. We'd catch up on what the old Ithaca families were up to and what was new up on south hill.I will miss her visits that we had over the last 25yrs.

We are so saddened to hear the loss of our dear friend Gibby. We enjoyed many happy times together in Ithaca, Cortland, and during her vacations in Florida. She is such a loss for the communities of Ithaca and Cortland. It was an honor to share a friendship with this remarkable lady. She will be dearly missed. With our sympathy
to the family.
