Stay Strong
So sorry to hear of your loss Jim, this is a very admirable piece of glass work. It shows alot of personal strength and character. I know you have heard this alot, just try to cherish you memories of him, and keep him in your heart. You are a solid lampworker, and I'm sure your going to be one of the best. It has been a pleasure to have you as a student, I have learned alot from our lessons, and I look foreward to working more with you in the future. Stay strong, and keep up the great work, I'm sure your father is very proud of you.

Peace,

Cuatro
