Mary, thou devoted and sincere humble daughter, wife and mother, in the name of Jesus, whom thou lovest, with my hands upon thy head, I do bless thee as the Lord in His mercy may add His approval for it is true that thou hast been weighed and not found wanting. The angels on the Eastern Hemisphere shouted for joy in the day in which thou wast born. Spirits in the spirit world blessed the hour for there was mutual understanding there, that, through the grace of God, thou shouldst prepare tabernacles or temples for certain select spirits, male and female. To this divine mission thou hast been true and faithful and this generation is indebted to thee for royal citizenship; for staunch sons and daughters who are an honor to thy name, and memory, to the Church of Christ and a witness to all the world that Joseph Smith is a Prophet and that the work of redemption for the living and the dead is in full force.
O blessed art thou, thou mother of the motherless, a sympathetic friend of all creatures, thy once beautiful form and strength haven't waned away for naught for thou has born the burdens of life in the heat of the day. O what a world of honest toil! O what a record of prayers and tears thou has offered up unto the Lord for thy children and especially for some of thine erring sons. Oft times thy pillow has been investitured by the dews of heaven. Oft times, during the still hours of night while the angels kept a faithful watch, thou hast appeared at the gates of heaven pleading for a safe return of those you love, beyond the expression of thy mother tongue, and know ye this that thy humility, thy faith and supplication have saved their souls from death and shall hide a multitude of sins. Thy righteousness and purity of life and spiritual endowments shall be handed down to the third and fourth generations and, while the earth shall stand, thou and thy offspring shall be conspicuously represented in the righteous decrees of the Almighty for thy garments are white and as spotless as the snowdrifts. And when thy time shall come, thou shalt be changed from mortality to immortality in a twinkling of an eye and how this people will say "Behold a daughter of Mother Eve has the Lord taken unto Himself" and their loss will be heaven's gain for you have kindred there with links which bind thee back to the grand patriarchs of the race of which thou art a noble descendant.
Go on, Sister Mary, thy work is not yet finished. God will grant thee a lengthy life to assist thy worthy husband, family, friends and kindred to go on with the great work of redemption for thy father's house and kindred, so well under headway now. O what a privilege for thou art a savior unto thy kith and kin.
I bless thee Sister Zwahlen, with renewed life and energy that thou mayest walk and not faint, that thou mayest be equal to the great spiritual, mental and physical responsibilities that be upon thee.
Peace and plenty shall abide in thy home and no righteous desire of thy heart shall be withheld from thee for thou hast power with the heavens.
Thy lineage, Sister Mary, is of the royal house of Israel, dating back to the promised son who wore a coat of many colors, even Joseph, through the loins of Ephraim. He will place a crown upon thy brow and show thee thy portion in the Celestial Kingdom where thou art to become a priestess unto thy Lord.
Time fails me, howbeit the spirit will reveal to thee more of the past, present, and future. Henceforth be ye happy in the Lord, for I seal thee up to life eternal to rise early in the morning of the first resurrection dressed in robes of heavenly design, whiter than the fleeting clouds; even so, in the name of the Savior, Amen.
