Emphasizing her songs sacrifice. Emphasizing her stating truth to power. Emphasizing her plain speaking, clear statements. Relate her vigil songs over her dead son to universal archtypes of all vigils over dead children killed by dictatorial rulers songs throughout all history. My suggestions below:dataguy's diary :: :: We should call her "Mother Sheehan". We should never call her Cindy; I don't know her. "Mother Sheehan" is her title, and expresses her ceremonial status as a bereaved mother, calling forth over the dead body of her son. She is not a person now, she is a mother, which is not an expression of her individuality, but rather the expression of her eternal character: the mother, the bringer of life who has been wronged by state power. We should use the word "sacrifice". She has sacrificed the most precious thing a mother has, the life and promise of her child.
