For a woman who is not physically present but will always be around like the wind...

For a beautiful woman with a loving heart that inspires generations to be like her humble soul...

For a woman who continues to understand our pain and heal our soul....

My most heartfelt thank you Mother Mary. Happy Mother's Day!!!
