My mom just called to let me know that a dear friend passed away this morning. Elizabeth "Libby" Smith has been a part of my life since I was born.

She used her influence to love and shape my life in huge ways, just like she did for others. Please pray for her husband, Jim, her sons, Kevin and Jimmy, and her grand children. Heaven is sweeter today.
