127 cm. with base, Oak and Walnut (5/2002).
Reflecting the emotion of grief, the sculpture is rough, harsh, dark and split. A single tear accents the anguish of personal loss. This is a portable totem, which is delivered to households where someone has died. It is delivered by the mourners as they escort the bereaved home.

130 cm with base, Cherry, Birch and Apple, (6/2002).
The counter to grief and sorrow expressing the comforting word, the loving form and the nod of understanding.
