We have lost a sweet person with a sweet soul. I’m picturing her whole again and with her Algie. Hugs to you all.
Our lives haven’t touched in a while, but I have always remembered Lib as a wonderful, sweet lady. I understand that she is the last charter member of Long Shoals Baptist where I attend and was married about 47 years ago. Wow, that long ago. My Mom, Geneieve Bell Bradley wants me to give you her condolences. Lib will be greatly missed. Our love and prayers to all.

Carolyn And Marilyn, I am truly going to miss Aunt Lib. She was so good to me and treated me as if I was her own. I`ll never forget all the good times we had going places, and of course all the days Howard and I spent at your home. She was a great person that I loved very much. She is with God now and all her family members.
