No matter what people think, Paul Scott Lipphardt was and is the light of my life. He married me May 3,1997. We were married in my parents back yard with my parents Grover and Jean Libbey, sisters Tammy and Tonya Libbey and eldest son, Zachary Libbey, his mother Gail Wood , sister Julie Lipphardt, step father Bob, Friends Stephen Oleksik , Bobbie Allen, Julie Rogers and Robert auchmoody all present. We had a justice of the peace. He was so nervous he was rubbing my hand so hard with his thumb. I looked into his eyes and seen how much this wonderful man loved me. When he fell ill I did my best to take care of him. Oh how it hurt to see him fade. His family blames me and hates me, for things they will never understand. This man was my Rick, my love my light. It's been years and this has not changed. I love him dearly and miss him everyday.
