"Mary found great joy in sharing her love for Jesus and her own story of how at age 15 she asked Christ to forgive her for her sins. It was at that time that she committed the rest of her life to live for Him, to the commitment she kept with devotion. She loved to share with others how they could forgive their sins, live a fulfilling life as a Christian, and one day spend eternity in heaven." Continued the post.
