Libby was like a second mother to me. She loved everyone and had a great spirit. I grew up playing cards with the Jacaszek's in their family kitchen.
So sorry for your loss from the entire Micco family.

Libby was a wonderful staff member at the law school for many years. She brightened up our day, and was the one person you turned to when you wanted something really to get done. Most importantly, she was a good friend.

I am a professor at the Law School where Libby worked for many years. I was so sad to read that she had passed away. Libby was the heart and soul of the school in her time there. At her post at the reception area, she handled everyone and everything that came through the building with grace and professionalism. Libby was not one to suffer fools gladly so she did have a bit of a reputation as being somewhat tough and crusty. But I was always happy to see her each morning. Libby possessed a great sense of humor and a quick wit. I have missed her presence at the Law School and send my condolences and strong thoughts to her family.
