The Sorrow & the Hope:

Tugging at the heart of every parent is the love of one’s child. Losing a child is devastating, and Christ’s welcoming arms provide solace for a parent’s void. That is part of the inspiration for Tom’s “Sami Swings.” It is dedicated to young Samantha Ann “Sami” McDonald, who is now secure eternally with her Lord.

In this memorial bronze Christ sculpture scene, Tom captures Sami’s spirit, Also the holding power of Jesus’ hands. The statues are placed at Cave Hill Cemetery in Louisville, Kentucky, beneath the gnarled branches of an ancient wingnut tree on Sami’s gravesite.

A smiling Jesus statue holds the ropes of three-year-old Sami. The words to her favorite song, “Jesus Loves Me,” are etched in the granite rock beneath her bare feet.

Debi and Geoff McDonald, have treasured this Jesus and Sami sculpture ever since her accidental drowning in 2006. This is how they saw her earlier that fateful day—swinging and singing, “Jesus loves me, this I know…”

Sami’s mom, Debi, started the ministry
“Sam’s Rock”
to encourage parents who have lost their children. She is a much sought-after speaker.

Tom White specializes in tender and compassionate portrait bronze memorials statues.
