We share in your loss of Libby. She was a special person that touched our lives in so many ways over the years. I am John Stauffer’s daughter that lives in Ohio. She visited us several times, and I last saw her this summer when Dad was in the hospital. We so enjoyed her company, and she will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. 
Sincerely,
Carol and Dick Porter
