I will miss my Grandma more then I can ever express in words. She was always such a big part of my life and I now have a void that can never be filled. I hold on tight to all of my wonderful memories and feel so blessed to have had her as my Grandma.

My Grandmother was a very big part of my life. I visited her and my Grandfather every month. It brought me so much happiness to sit with her on the couch with my arm around her and talk for hours about life. My Grandfather would complain that I was spoiling her with all the attention and that she would want to come home with me. Little did he know I held her close because I was spoling myself. I will miss those wonderful afternoons. She was a beautiful women and an incredible Grandmother.

Libby was the most wonderful, beautiful person I ever met. She was kind, giving and a lot of fun to be around. She will be greatly missed by all her friends and familiy.

Did Libby ever work as a nurse @ Cornell [either @ Sage Infirmary or later @ the clinic on campus?]. If so, I believe she worked with my mother, Wilma Ferris, also an RN, who worked nights @ Cornell for years. Please let me know if this is the same woman who my Mom loved and spoke so highly of. My mother died in 2000, and would have wanted to share her condolences with all of Libby's family and friends. I will keep you all in my prayers, as you grieve and endure this most difficult time.
God bless you all,
