Libbie Lorraine Nichols was born on August 20, 1998 in Austin, Texas. Libbie was diagnosed with leukemia at the age of six months. A bright and shining star to the very end, she became Heavens angel on April 9, 2004. A beautiful, loving and spunky little girl, Libbie was an inspiration to all she met because of her courage in facing the adversities of her illness. Her family is grateful for the gift of every moment spent with this magical child, and we know that our Princess Libbie is with God in eternity and her spirit lives on forever. She is survived by her parents, John and Becky Nichols, her brother John Jacob "Buster" Nichols, grandparents, Ron and Diane Ralph, David Clark, Kenneth and Sally Nichols, and Rod and Becky Cantu; great-grandparents, Lorraine Turner and Mary Nichols, and many more loving family members and friends.
