Sharon has spent hours looking, thinking, interrogating Linda, and praying looking for the lost locket and rings. Something like the "Lord of the Rings" thing here in New Zealand. The locket was given to Sharon's mom on their engagement Christmas 1944. And the rings were their wedding rings.
Sharon wrote the following in an email:
Ya, the Tongans took all the Christian books and easy reading books, about 6-8 boxes
. For sure that one would have gone in if I had managed to get to that bottom shelf before they came!! Usually i just chucked the books into a box. For some strange reason I just kept holding this 'book' and looking at it, reading the cover, then I thought maybe Bill would like to read one of the stories so decided to open it. It seemed strange when I opened the cover, then I pulled a tab and there it was! A couple of brooches and the locket and rings. Another little box with a brooch that says it was worn by the bride at the marriage of the couple who I think we're Ron's grandparents, so the girls will be delighted to have that.
Amazing Joyce you said you had also prayed that night that I would find it, and it would have been about 9:30 pm your time that I found it! As close to a miracle as I have had for some time!
