Harry & Family,

My thoughts and prayers go out to you all because Mothers help create our foundation throughout life so our love for them is huge. I hope you can find some peace in knowing she is strong and without pain now but I'm sure she'll miss being there to share in your future achievements. There is a new Angel in heaven and WoW is she beautiful!
