This “Courage” will be displayed outside of the Summa Cancer Center’s therapy room so that before their Cancer patients walk into the room, they will pass the sculpture and can touch her, gaining strength from her for their ordeal to come. Or touch her on their way out of therapy for the courage to keep on fighting the battle. With the donation to the Cancer Support Services brought in with the purchase of “Courage”, the room can be outfitted to make the patient’s time there more comfortable.

"Courage" Butterfly Necklace

Since the unveiling of the sculpture, there have been many requests for the butterfly necklace that is on the sculpture "Courage".

“Butterflies were a favorite of my sister Connie; she said they brought her peace, freedom and hope. At the cemetery after her internment ceremony, her husband John who brought several Mylar butterfly balloons, walked to the little lake alone and released the butterflies as he had promised her. We all silently watched as the wind suddenly came up and the butterflies took flight. Slowly they rose into the air and maneuvered themselves up and around the clouds, staying in sight and staying in the clear blue sky. Up and up they drifted, slowly they left our sight and sailed to the heavens. So of course I had to have a butterfly on ‘Courage'.”
