A Family Treasure
This pendant belonged to my mother,
Alberta Joy Gardner Brown.
It was given to her by my father,
Delbert Keith Brown.
My father liked to sketch a quick heart on notes or cards to my mother. He'd draw a heart with an arrow through the center. Inside he'd write 'DK + Joy' or 'Joy'.
On one special occasion he went to a jeweler and had his sketch made into a pendant for my mother. She wore it many times.
Now it is a family treasure.
