Comments: I want to say Thank-You for what your doing to remember the fallen miners of the Sago Mine disaster. I lost my father in the disaster James A. "JIM" Bennett. He was a great believer in the Lord and loved his family. He also loved being a coal miner. Our prayers are with you as you finish this project. Again Thank-You for what your doing.

Comments: Your design certainly evokes the closed in feeling of being there in the seam with the miners. For those of us on the surface, breathing fresh air, it helps us understand in some small way what it must be like to be there in that small, dark, damp space struggling for every breath. Your empathy and understanding are very evident in your design. Absolutely haunting....
