My aunt told us of how she had gone to visit my mom and uncle after she had married out of the orphanage at age 17....she remembers seeing many items from their home including the family Crucifix hanging on the wall of the orphanage.These items should have been returned to aunt Lucille when she moved out but the nuns kept everything except a jar that my Grandmere had embedded using some sort of plaster or clay with small things like buttons,eye-hooks old nails hair pins etc.It's quite something to see. It made me happy to see the where my creativity came from.Although I have never met them (my grandparents) I am forever learning who they were
