Last week, I showed statues from Spring Grove Cemetery holding laurel wreaths, a symbol of eternity and the victory of eternal life over earthly death. This statue looks as if she is about to drop the laurel wreath from her hands in her grief, but the symbol of hope remains clasped in her hand.
The Miller statue is holding a wreath in its damaged arm.
One of my favorite statues holding a laurel wreath is on the Otis monument at Lake View.
