It took 14 months to create The Hope Tree. It was a time of exhilaration, unending challenges, happy accidents, great joys and nearly crushing disappointments. It was not unlike the cancer journey itself. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other and keep on going.

Just as you now have your team of experts, supporters, neighbors, friends and family rallying around you, I was surrounded by my own team of experts at Big3D Productions, Inc. for the creation of The Hope Tree. Without their unfaltering hard work, endurance, enthusiasm, sacrifices, support and encouragement this sculpture would not be what it is today. I am so very grateful to them all. Carol Jeanotilla
