I mean, this is Mom. Just think if it was their mom," said Stephanie Harris."There's nothing we can do to ease their pain. There's nothing we can do. We can't imagine the grief they're going through for a second time," said Sandy King of the City of Pompano Beach.Harris, who was buried over a year ago, was moved 200 yards from her original spot, but away from her son and sister.As for the city, they said if they discover workers were negligent, disciplinary action will be taken.
