<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 306837, member: 78"]Hi Bronwen,</p><p> I know the feeling. My Grandmothers only good jewelry was an emerald ring which was her Grandmothers and a strand of pearls. The rest was costume. When I came home from the hospital when she died I started to call the family. I called her daughter first, she lived in a neighboring state. I then called her two daughters in law which lived a few houses away. The two were at the house within minutes. I had just moved the ring and pearls to a safe place (my pocket). They were in Grams jewelry box in 5 mins. Saying Oh I gave her that so that is mine, I gave her that, I''ll keep that. in 10 mins they</p><p>cleaned the box out leaving three or four pins and two pair of earrings. Her cameo ring and engagement ring disappeared. They asked where her emerald ring and pearls were. I just shrugged my shoulders. My Aunt arrived about three hours later. After my other Aunts had left I gave my Aunt the ring and pearls and said I did not see her cameo ring. My Aunt started to cry. She borrowed the cameo ring last month to wear to a wedding. So much for family.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
