Some of you may already know this story about Mary Fielding Smith, but in anticipation of Mother’s Day, I think it’s worth repeating. Here is the account of her pioneering trek from Winter Quarter’s to Salt Lake. As you may know, she was the mother of the prophet Joseph F. Smith, and she died when her sons were still young. This story tells the interesting circumstance of one of her prophecies being fulfilled.
Geoff, like you I find Mary Fielding Smith to be heroic, noble and inspiring. Thanks for reminding me of her today.
