Mark Williams said for 57 years, the white statue of the Virgin Mary remained a fixture outside of his family home. It was gifted to them as a housewarming gift from their neighbors way back when.
Williams said after KDKA covered the story, the son of those former neighbors reached out and is buying him a new one.
Also, sisters from The Divine Redeemer in Elizabeth and Steubenville are gifting him a 100-year-old statue from a closed Catholic church.
