<p>[QUOTE="Marko, post: 4341502, member: 210"]It happened in our family. When my aunt died, my father, her brother, was so heartbroken he took almost everything to the dump. He only kept some jewelry. He gave that to a sibling who was not responsible, that's all I will say....that sibling gave me my grandmother's platinum, diamond, and lavender star sapphire ring, which I wear. All else was lost or stolen. When my uncle passed, my father wanted me to have a special mirror he stored in his house, one of only three were made....a pink one, an amber one, and a blue one, not cobalt, but a rarer blue color. A beautiful winter scene of a couple in a sleigh and a church was etched in it. I didn't want it because I couldn't look at it without crying....it hung in my aunt's home, the one who passed and my dad took everything to the dump. I get why people do what they do. In the end, it's just stuff....you can't replace your loved ones.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
