My son took a photo of an Angel of Grief in a cemetery in Montreal. I would have fainted with emotion if I had seen this one. It touches such a deep place in the heart, doesn't it? And I love the words you have added. How powerful. I WILL return to Green-Wood one day, and I WILL find this oh-so-moving sculpture. Thank you so much for highlighting such wonderful things. I love cemetery art and am so happy you have occasional postings from this beautiful site. Your photographs are beautiful.Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10455519720849154423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-33164435249165656762010-01-26T13:46:01.670-05:002010-01-26T13:46:01.670-05:00Such poignant sculptures and photos.
