What a lovely package we received at The Pearl Girls today! Barbara Ann mailed us her Moms broken pearls along with a wonderful note:
Dear Pearl Girls,
Enclosed is a broken strand of pearls that belonged to my mother. I lost her June 17, 2017. Her name was Conception but everyone knew her as “Connie”. When she passed, I wore them everyday. No matter what I was wearing or what I was doing. I wore them because I wanted to feel close to her (They looked especially good with my father's flannel shirts & a pair of worn out jeans). Of course she had other jewelry that I wore as well. But, for some reason, these pearls were most special, just as she was to me. I enclosed a picture of my mother wearing them when she was 18 years old in 1947. She was beautiful up until the day she died. I miss her everyday. Please take care in repairing these most precious pearls and return them to me so that I can continue to wear them in memory of my beloved mother.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Barbara Ann
