Item Description

Inspiration: “I recently lost my life-long best friend to
cancer and have had other friends who have survived
and lost their battles with various forms of cancer. I
decided to dedicate the chair to the surviving families,
thinking the chair might give them a place to sit and
remember that even in the pain of loss there is hope
that everything will be okay. That, as Bob Marley sang
in his song “Little Birds,” “Every little thing is gonna be
alright…”
