The Warner Sallman Collection

A Source of Comfort

by Lori Hendricks, Nov. 29, 2009

As long as I can remember (I am now 43), the Head of Christ has always been above of the bed of my grandmother (98 years old). Her mother bought it for a dollar in a department store. When I Iook at the picture, it seems so real and lifelike. For some reason, it has always given me comfort when I look at it. My grandmother is in her last days on this earth, and I will choose to think of her with that picture over her head as I remember her with comfort.
