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 was my babysitter, my Sunday School teacher and, even more, my friend. Since our kids have come around, Libby always sent something special for them when my parents would visit, and we always went over to Jim and Libby's house when we were at home. 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.

Edith said, "Well, what do you
