Dear Abraham,
Your sculpture, Mary Pieta, arrived while I was out of town. I returned Friday morning, and immediately uncrated it. It was very well packed and arrived in perfect condition. 
I was deeply touched by its beauty and powerful expression. It is everything I had hoped it would be. I thank you and congratulate you for creating a powerful piece of art that I am sure will inspire people for many years to come.
The over-all design is quite striking and expressive. Mary is clearly holding the dead weight of her son's body, resting on one knee and supported by her whole body. The position of the two heads is quite moving. The people are clearly African-American, but without being over-stated. The facial expressions are powerful. Even the feet are truly moving. And the print of the nail is clearly present in Jesus' left hand. Thank you for creating such a powerful work of art for our church.
Sincerely,

>Rev. C. Thomas Jost
