SHE WAS ONLY 6 or 7 years old, but Carole Marshall remembers watching her mother reveal out the jewelry drawer in her dresser.
Upending the drawer onto the bed, her mother rummaged through the pieces, holding one up and saying, “This necklace belonged to Aunt Jane,” or, “This watch was my grandmother’s.”
Opportunity a small velvet bag, her mother turned its contents out onto the bedspread — a gold-affiliation bracelet with a pendant of seven different stones.
“She picked it up, fingered it and said, ‘Someday, I’ll recount you about this,’” Marshall said. “Then she put it back in the pouch.”
When her mother died in 1994, Marshall, an only kid, was going through her mother’s things and came across the pouch.
