Lynn and Gary,
Although your sister's obituary was brief, it spoke volumes in the things that really mean most in life.
She died "at her home". Today, wants and needs are usually expressed in terms of food, clothing, and shelter. That is the way too many of us look at it. But to die at home and at her home means so much.
Her home was your home. You made it that way. I'm sure the many acts of service provided by your family are not unnoticed by the Savior. His words "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me" are so appropriate.
He recognizes every effort made to relieve pain and suffering. That is part of His mission.
I feel sure that as a hush and stillness settles on your home, you will experience His closeness and appreciation for your example of Christian service. He loves you both.

Our condolences go out to Gary and Lynn and family We loved Barbara. I grew up with her I am a little younger than her but that didn't mean anything. We used to play dolls together and play house. When I got married she came to my house several times, and I went to hers. She always sent all of us cards. May God bless you all!
Love always, Coral and Larry Campbell
