Libby was our family, a wonderful, kind, caring person. She had such a sweet spirit. She was so intelligent, an extremely hard worker. A wonderful Mother and partner to David. We will forever hold her dear in our hearts. I know she is looking down at her loved ones. She is in no more pain. We love you and miss your witty sense of humor and beautiful smile.

Will miss Libby and her great work here in the Valley. She was a wonderful conservation partner and made a huge difference here. Her efforts at connecting Valley farmers with Bay watermen has been the most effective tool I've witnessed to promote understanding and empathy between disparate communities. It has made a difference. I greatly appreciated my time on one of those trips to Tangier Island with her.

David, Colby, and Dylan:
I knew Libby through NRCS partnership activities with CBF. She was such a warm and friendly person that you instantly felt like you had known her all your life. She definitely made the world a little brighter and better and it is hard to imagine a world without her in it. I am so sorry for your loss and pray that you each find comfort in this time of sorrow.

Dave, I'm so sorry to hear of Libby's passing. The number of beautiful memorials in this guest book is so fitting, because we all knew what a kind and warm soul Libby was. Someone on Facebook said that they never heard her say a bad word about anyone, and I must agree. She was above all a kind and positive spirit that always made people feel welcomed..

David, Colby and Dylan, I can't tell you how sorry I am for your loss. As a colleague at CBF, and a friend, Libby was a constant inspiration, a dogged fighter, and someone to whom I turned for her specialized knowledge and experience. Her volunteerism was legendary. And she worked for a decade to earn the trust of hundreds of farmers in the Valley -- not easy if you say you're from CBF! I will miss her enthusiasm, her bright spark, her friendship. I know her memory will live strongly and warmly in your hearts.
