Anita, who had cerebral palsy, died two weeks after her "life support" was "turned off."

Two days later, her father, who had Alzheimer's, died after hip replacement surgery.

His widow says "The family is all happy, there's no real sadness because we know they are so much better off." She also says the timing of their deaths was no coincidence. I was wondering about that myself.

Its just so touching.... you have people who love their children more than life itself but this is literally one of those times when that's the truth. It leaves one awed at the power of human love.

What a love family - love and devotion. This is beautiful and surprisingly not sad at all. Even the Mom left behind seems to feel at peace. They are as perfect as you can get.

Anita Lynne Tebbs was born with cerebral palsy.

God help us the day we start seriously selecting out for folks like Anita Lynne Tebbs. Can the day of selecting out for folks like me be far behind?

"We're all taking it fine, and we're trusting the Lord's going to take care of them now," she said.

There, in a nutshell, is a classic testimony of how faith in Jesus helps folks face life (with its severest difficulties) and death (with His promise of eternal life) with that "peace that passes all understanding".

Audrey Tebbs is, indeed, "taking it all fine". May her remaining years here be truly blessed! She, obviously, knows where she's headed when it is over...

>> Skidmore said her parents devoted their lives to the home, and to caring for Anita.

The Tebbses were blessed by God with the opportunity to care for Anita, and abundantly fulfilled in their own lives by the transcendent love they wrapped around her. What a soul-stirring story! We are inspired by quiet people who ask nothing and give everything, for they show us all how we can rise above ourselves.

How stunted, in contrast, are the materialists who complain that caring for others is an imposition, and who measure life and love in dollar signs.
