Huntsville, Alabama Sculpture
We received a very nice note and picture from Ms. Candy Burnett, the President of the Huntsville Hospital Foundation in Alabama. They placed the Circle of Peace sculpture in front of the Women & Children’s Center. Here is what she said,
Gary Price’s bronze sculpture, “Circle of Peace,” provides a warm welcome for everyone who visits Huntsville Hospital for Women & Children. The five playful children in the sculpture help to alleviate the fears of our youngest patients, and the sculpture provides a nice respite for patients and families spending time at the hospital. On any given day, parents can be seen taking photos of pediatric patients and patient siblings as they “complete” the circle and join the fun.
The sculpture, which graces the entrance of the hospital, was donated in 2003 by 55 generous grandmothers in honor of their grandchildren and all the children of north Alabama. “Circle of Peace” has become a beautiful icon that symbolizes the mission of our hospital and the special children who are born here, and healed here.

Thanks, Candy, for the kind words! And how cool is it that 55 grandmothers donated to bring this sculpture to the Women & Children’s Center. I think it is a great example of what can happen when people get together for a cause they believe in.
Doesn’t the sculpture look great in front of that beautiful building?!
