My dear friend, Barbara Johns, passed from this life to the eternal world yesterday.
Hers was a life of service and obedience to God.
Her works were good.
There is much evidence.
It's true she wasn't perfect.
It's also true she steadfastly listeth* to obey . . . a good spirit.
I join friends and family in mourning her loss.
Yet, we can be joyful today.
According to the words of the spirit of prophecy, she did all to reap eternal happiness.
"And in one year were thousands and tens of thousands of souls sent to the eternal world, that they might reap their rewards according to their works, whether they were good or whether they were bad, to reap eternal happiness or eternal misery, according to the spirit which they listed to obey, whether it be a good spirit or a bad one.
For every man receiveth wages of him whom he listeth to obey, and this according to the words of the spirit of prophecy; therefore let it be according to the truth. . . ." Alma 3:26-27
*listeth means chose
