I started buying Willow Tree for my wife Leela for birthdays etc. She really loved the pieces and how significant each piece was to us and our life together. Sadly Leela passed away in November 2009 from cancer very shortly after diagnosis. We have a daughter Olivia who was just 2 and a half years old when Leela died and I have continued to collect them for her now as she likes them also. I've just bought her the Nativity and the 3 Wise Men, and also a few other pieces that will go on display also. They are a constant reminder to me of my lovely wife and the happy times we shared when she received them. Thank you Susan for your extreme skill and thoughfulness in your choice of wording and title for the sculptures.
