What an amazing life our mother had! I've always tried to appreciate all her eyes have witnessed and all the struggles and triumphs she experienced. She raised 5 children and was married to our dad, a career Soldier. There were good and bad times but one thing was constant...her devotion to her family and our country! I'll miss our long rides and talks together to NC for vacation at Emerald Isle or to visit our family. Her stories were so detailed and awe inspiring. We love you Mom and always will...we'll carry the torch for you from here and continue to share you legacy❤😇🙏 Your "baby" forever, Libby

Grandmom, Matriarch of the family. I am so glad to have so many wonderful memories with my grandmother. She was a smart, sarcastic at times with the lovely sense of humor. She always put her family first, and she created such a large family, her memories will live in our hearts and minds forever. We are going to miss you and your beautiful spirit. You are now back with Grandpop and Cody and Uncle Doug. Not to mention Kizi Abby and all the other wonderful pets you took such great care of. We will meet again hopefully in the far future, for me I would love to live a long fulfilling life as you did. I will follow your values and morals which you have taught us all. I miss you but you will forever be in my heart. You set such an impossibly high standard of goodness and caregiving, but everyday I work to become more like the hero you are. I love you Grandmom, until we meet again❤ lobe always your granddaughter Caroline and great grandson Mason❤
