Mahala
was the mother to four children, one of whom died in infancy. As a mother her
love went out for her children, her sacrifice was for their good, her alm was
to rear them to useful manhood and woman hood. Inspired by her example and
righteousness, her sons and daughter are good and honored. Her children rise up
and call her blessed. As a neighbor she was one in deed as well as in name. Her
neighbors were enriched by her helpful ministries. Her services were timely and
valuable; she withheld nothing that would contribute to the enrichment of
others. To do good to others was her ambition.
