RIP Aunt Tibby, we will miss you and we love you but we are thankful God was merciful enough to not let you continue to suffer if not His Will to heal you. We know you are with Our Lord sitting on the right-hand of Jesus. We know you are having one family reunion like no other. Until we meet again! Love always, Cheryl
