Mom took a gift from a DUer into her final resting place [View all]


Last June mom got sick and went in the hospital. Then she was transferred to a recovery center. w8liftinglady was nice enough to hand make mom a bracelet. Mom went ape over it. She loved and talked of it often. It was almost lost in the emergency room in January. It was found two days later. Crisis averted.

My entire extended family wishes to thank w8liftinglady for her gift that meant so much to mom in her last months. Mom will be wearing it through the end of time. Our family will never forget the story behind the bracelet.

Warmest regards to the DU for all the karma of the last year for mom,

OS and family
