Mary truly loved Jehovah and was a pillar of strength to her immediate family as well as the many nieces and nephews who would spend their summer vacations at her house. Mary would often pray that she would live long enough to see all ten of her children grow up and be able to take care of themselves. Thanks to Jehovah she lived to see that happen. Her faith, trust and confidence in Jehovah and his promises of a better world by means of a paradise earth was strong and solid. (Psalm 37:10:11) Her faith was inspiring.
