is this creepy?



I'll have to talk to mom about her giving me at least her
wedding ring when she passes. I'd like to have the pair.

Wearing her jewelry doesn't bother me at all - in fact I
have several pieces that I wear frequently. She was more of
a jewelry hound than a clothes hound, and I do feel that
wearing her jewelry honors her memory.

I laundered the things I picked out and plan on wearing one
top today. I guess it's no big deal - like I say I tend to
make things much harder than they really are.

Thanks for the reassurance ...

Having it crafted into another ring sounds good.

My mom died April 22, 1993, my dad died July 25, 1993. My
daughter got married August 1st, 1993. Dad asked my daughter
and soon to be SIL if they would like mom's wedding rings.
My daughter, who was very close to her grandmother, was
ecstatic at the honor. Sharon
