HOPE-I'm sure Jonathan would appreciate your kind words. His e-mail below.

A while ago I posted about how our friend Jonathan Carlson lost his niece in that nightmare at VTech. Before that tragedy Jonathan had been working on a sign for the side of his barn in Camden Maine- "HOPE". The project stalled, but after losing Emily, his niece, he felt a renewed sense of purpose and together with his dad, both incredible craftsmen, finished the sign as a tribute to her memory and have shown us that after such unspeakable tragedy and senseless loss we must remember that there is hope -in a world that sometimes seems hopeless. A beautiful symbol in a beautiful little town in Maine. A quiet beacon in an increasingly loud and out of control world.
