Libby and I didn’t know each other especially well, but I will remember her from the occasions when I sang at Tamarisk Assisted Living. She was highly complimentary of our passable voices and engaged my singing partner and myself in delightful conversations about vocal music which included her own experiences learning from a maestro. She was an intelligent and charming person who, I’m sure, will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
OMG
Just saw this tonite.
I am so so sorry read about your Mom’s passing. She was an incredible woman. We used to talk all the time over the years. I’ve known all of you since you moved here and we’ve celebrated many good times over the years. My heartfelt condolences go out to all of you. Now our Mom’s are together again….Always in my Heart
