Unselfish devotion
A heart that is true
Deep understanding
And gentleness, too.

A willingness always
To help and to praise--
These things bring gladness
in numberless ways.

This tender scene of doe and fawn is a collector's item expressing so vividly a mother's love. This museum piece was sculpted by the renowned Italian artist, Professor Sirio Tofanari who received one of the most prized and coveted awards possible when the Italian government nominated him as a member of the Academic College of the Fine Arts of Florence.

Erected by the Fort Lincoln Cemetery.
