It breaks my heart that this lady never lived to see her son released from prison. I can't imagine the pain and suffering she went through for so many years not having her son home and wondering if she ever would. So heartbreaking. My Prayers go out to all the family. Hopefully, justice of freedom will come soon

Her name means "Mary ( mother) of Sorrows" or pain. I remember always feeling that her face reflected all of the pain that her heart was feeling. And she never tried to hide the pain. As a mother, I think I felt more heartache for her than I did for Steven.

July 13, 2021

A beautiful lady devoted to her family. My heart both smiled and broke every time I saw her, the realness she embodied and the pain. This mother's love is truly eternal. May she rest peacefully now and may her family feel her beside them always.
