I've created this video as a tribute to the great tenor Luciano Pavarotti, who passed away at the age of 71.

I grew up in a large Catholic family and over the years I have heard the "Ave Maria" sung at every family Wedding and Funeral. I even sang it myself at my neice's Wedding a few years ago.

Although I drifted away from my faith over the years, I have carried a deep appreciation and respect for Motherhood and Familial Love, a value I am pleased to say, my children inherited as well.

To create this tribute I've included two treasured little plastic cards my daughter gave me (I have a boxful of cards and books that she gave me over the years!), photos of my garden, quotes, and portraits of some very special Mothers.

I noticed that his coffin was covered in Sunflowers, his favourite flower. Sunflowers were also my darling Pippa's favourite flower, so that endears me to him even more! Luciano Pavarotti's angelic voice will continue to soothe many a troubled heart and soul for years to come.

Blessings to you all!

Love Debbie
