    Thank you, Thank you , Thank you, your beautiful work brought to my eyes, I have been so lost this year. I am 51 and dying, and I am not afraid of dying, as I know our Lord, but I just plain don’t want to leave my family, I have been so worried about them, this has been a real hard year for us and with all the wrong reasons people celebrate Christmas, it has bothered me so much and then I just happen on your beautiful page and find your tree of forest animals and it was just what I needed, its GOD’S beautiful creation, If I had the money I would try and make those beautiful animals GOD gave you such a wonderful talent for. and that would be the only thing on my tree is year. Thank you so very much for giving me some joy and thank you so very much for sharing the amazing talent that our GOD gave you. GOD bless you and yours always.
