I met Ibby at St. Albans Jr. High School when we were in the eighth grade. We immediately became good friends and stayed friends all the way through high school and beyond. Amy was born on my birthday. As so often happens, time and miles came between us and I haven't seen her for a very long time, but she was often in my thoughts. Just a couple of years ago, I found some pictures taken at my parents' home of her wedding shower. She was so happy. I'll miss her, but I'll always have good memories. God bless her family.

Amy and family, Cindy, Billy, and Matt,
I was so saddened to hear of Elizabeth ("Ibby" forever to us!) passing away. I have such fond memories of our times together growing up... playing outside, riding bikes around town, walking to school, etc. We would try to get together when ever I was visiting family at home. Ibby even surprised me with a phone call for my birthday last month! She was so sweet!
She will forever be in my heart.
Prayers to you and your families at this time.
Love,
Maria LeRose Tallarico
