Mary is dead; in Heaven no doubt, but NOT omniscient; asking you friend to pray for you is reasonable; that person, properly, would be praying to GOD on your behalf; not to Mary.

I've sure got MY doubts!!

Well, not up to us to decide, ultimately; she did confess her need for a savior — so, I hope and trust she’s there. I just don’t pray to those who:
A) Can’hear me
B) Can’t help me

We pray to God Almighty directly because we can!

Isn’t it wonderful!
