My sincerest prayers, thoughts and condolences to the Hemphill family. I was so sorry to hear of Lib's passing, for we all grew up in the Bradford Heights Community.
Lib was always friendly, kind and always the same every time I saw her. Our Gospel Choirs would always run into one another in the comings and goings of the Gospel Choir Anniversaries.
May God comfort your family and give them peace that surpasses all understanding and the precious memories of Lib bring joy, laughter and a smile upon your lips.
Much love to the Hemphill Family 💜
Rest In Him, Lib!💜
