Henry, sorry to hear about Libby. Travis told me. I will be unable to attend, as I have a meeting at our church, at that time, but will be thinking of you. May God be with you and your family. Walt
As a child growing up, just down the hill from your family, Mrs. Westmoreland. I recall the times running through ya’lls backyard of beautiful trees, shrubs and flowers in Mountain View. We had a lot of fun playing hide & seek or whatever. Such sweet memories from my childhood. I will always remember your spouse, mother, grandmother. My condolences from the Probst family. Prayers and blessings.

Dear Henry, Sonja, Joe, Susan, David and Family,
Thank you so much for allowing Mama, Darlene and I to spend a short time with you Tuesday evening. We are praying for your family. After Daddy’s passing on March 8, we have a better understanding of your grief. Libby was a wonderful and very sweet lady. She always made us feel like a part of your family. May God Bless you in the days ahead as you adjust to life without her presence. If we can do anything or be of any help, please let us know.
Love, Sandy
