PHILADELPHIA - Mother's Day is a celebration for women to celebrate their role as mothers, but for many women in Philadelphia, the day is a solemn one.
As Philadelphia continues to battle its ongoing gun crime crisis, many women are mourning the loss of children who died as a result of violence.
FOX 29's Steve Keeley spoke with a group of mothers treated to a spa day by Glossy Nails in North Philadelphia as they prepare to mark an emotional Mother's Day without their children.
Glossy Nails Boutique and Sixx Degrees Media partnered to give the group of mothers the special day. Michelle De Jesus lost two sons to gun violence and she says Mother's Day never gets easier.
