“My mother … had a very deep inner spirituality that allowed her to rebuild her life.

- Thank you for always loving me. I will forever love you mum!
“Because I feel that, in the Heavens above / The angels, whispering to one another, / Can find, among their burning terms of love / None so devotional as that of ‘Mother’” —Edgar Allen Poe
