For my Brother

We lost my youngest brother last month and his wife allowed me to make this for his interment.( she said I could share) He was a big Dungeons & Dragons fan and I thought he might have liked this theme. He was such a good, kind and gentle man, his service had over 300 folks show up at a very small parlor, and I would bet not many left in the 3+ hours it took for everyone to give their condolences. It was amazing to see that much affection. Images were pulled from the internet and I couldn't find a name for the artists so thank you whoever you are. Not tough to build but still tough. Turned out to be very cathartic for me.
Thought I might share.

I am sorry for the loss of your brother's active presence in your life, but he remains in your life in ways we cannot fully express. The craftsmanship and gentle work necessary to create such workmanship speaks not only to the kind and gentle soul he is, but to the kind and gentle soul that lives in you. Beautiful workmanship, and such a tribute to your brother.
