Well…I think it’s about time for me to do this, sorry I have not written before now. You’ve been gone now for almost 6 months and we still feel a void. Some days are almost unbearable. First Jeff, then Wayne, Elaine, John and you. You really hung in there and made sure you took care of Wayne…I know you were sick that whole time, you had to be. Lib, you were always the strong one! The one who we always depended on to get the job done! You were fearless and never let your emotions show! I love you for that! Kenny misses you so much. We don’t talk a whole lot, but I do call him from time to time to check on him. He is trying to be a strong. He would never want us to see him down. I talked with him on Mother’s Day – just couldn’t stop thinking about what he must be going through. Found out that he was moving into the house and spending his first night there. How fitting; just the way you would have wanted it. I love and miss you very much!
