Condolences

Our condolences to all the family - both immediate and extended. Molly was a source of joy to my mom, Peggy Nelson, and also us girls whenever she visited. Her poignant advice was appreciated when my son and daughter in law lost their infant. Our world may seem a little less bright without her here but no doubt she is basking in the light of her Savior in heaven! So glad to have known Molly Campbell!!!

Sending our love to the Campbell and Miller families on the loss of Molly. So many wonderful memories of our cousin who was more like a sister to our mom — Peggy (Miller) Nelson. We still look at pictures of them since they were about 7-8 years old, living a “farm girl” life with much love for each other and both living faithfully their Christian walk throughout. We loved getting letters from her even as it was harder for her to continue to write. Molly was simply a loving person and loads of laughs every time she visited. Hugs to you all!
