I have so many pleasant memories of William and Lori coming into the portrait studio at Sears to have her two wee one's portraits made. They adored their grandfather!! Of course, being Judy's little sister, I have memories that go back many, many years. Libba, you have a precious family and my heart has been blessed from just knowing you. I am keeping you in my prayers. Love, Jenny Peeples Hartselle

Lib,
My heart breaks for you over the loss of your "Sweet William" as we lovingly called him in high school. I wanted to be there, but there wasn't enough time to arrange it. Please know you and you family are constantly in my heart, thoughts and prayers. I love you, my lifelong friend.
