Mary's Testimony

In "The Life of Mary Field Garner" by Anne Garner Barton, it concludes with Mary Field Garner's Testimony that was read at her funeral.
"I still enjoy living...My advice for a long life is to live a good clean life, eat good plain, wholesome foods, do not use tobacco or liquor, keep the Word of Wisdom and take  plenty of sleep and rest.  
"It is said I am the only living witness to have actually seen and known the Prophet Joseph Smith and I want to bear my testimony to the world... to the truthfulness of the this Gospel..., that Jesus is the Savior of mankind, that Joseph Smith was a true and living prophet of God to establish his true Gospel on this earth in this last dispensation. That he was a true and faithful leader of the saints and that the principles he advocated were true and correct beyond a doubt, that he lived the Gospel as he taught it to his people, that he did seal his testimony with his blood...  
"That Brigham Young and all the other presidents of our church have been true prophets of God, who were divinely called to lead and teach this people as they should be taught. I am glad my parents embraced the Gospel in England and came to Zion. I am thankful that I was permitted to live in this last dispensation when the Gospel was restored to the earth by the Prophet Joseph Smith and of being many, many times in his presences. There is no doubt in my mind of the truthfulness of the Gospel and it is my desire to live the Gospel to the best of my ability for the rest of my life, that I may be found worthy to again associate with my family and the other righteous saints."
This is an incredible testimony and shows her conviction to the gospel.  I am so thankful to be a part of her family and benefit from the legacy that she left.
