Doris Coffman (b. 1930, d. 2007) didn’t live the easiest of lives. At a young age she lost most of her sight and was considered legally blind. As she progressed through life, she lost most of her hearing, suffered from diabetes, and survived cancer. Despite the hardships, she found Joy. Her first love was her husband, Jim, and they shared a bond that has likely yet to be rivaled — it was an embodiment of the word “love” itself. Her second love was her collection of elephant figurines. For whatever reason, she loved elephants and her home was filled with hundreds of elephant statues, toys, photos, tables, and various tchotchkes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis sculptural elephant has been created in her memory.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Relic Modern","offers":[{"title":"Small","offer_id":52650617143607,"sku":null,"price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":52650617176375,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large","offer_id":52650617209143,"sku":null,"price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0986\/4894\/9047\/files\/elephant_front_trio_HWW_compressed_12658dc6-5e1a-44d4-b460-a8e5a2636875.webp?v=1776602274"},{"product_id":"robin-outlet","title":"Robin (Outlet)","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA wooden robin sculpture sized for a shelf, a mantel, an entry table, or a nursery dresser — the silhouette pulled forward and upward, beak angled to the sky.
