My parents actually gave a replica of Pieta to my grandmother. When she died, we took it back to our house. I look at it just about every day. It tells the story of a mother’s undying love.

This Pieta reminds me of the replica my folks had of Michelanglo’s Pieta. How very much can be captured in the moment portrayed.
