Wow, what a wonderful woman. I'm so sad that she had to go through so many struggles, I can't imagine that, but I'm happy she now has her son home where he can rest in peace. God bless you, Tamara.

Touching article on mother's love and devotion. Noted the print copy, on my doorstep, twice had "visa" capitalized, as if she were applying for a credit card. Glad the editors corrected it for the online story.

What a sad event for this lady to have lost her son so early in life. All this before the hope of making a new life in America. The devotion to her son's memory and wanting to bury his body in America completed her dream of they being together. In her life here she will now be able to visit his grave giving her comfort. Blessed are those strangers who came to her assistance and became friends. They gave this lady the happiness she sought. May she find peace.
