My aunt pinned my late grandmother's brooch on her own daughter and said it came from her family

Nell owns a small flower shop on Haywood Road in Asheville, North Carolina. When her grandmother died, the walnut jewelry box came to her with one slot empty, and her aunt said the old woman must have lost what was in it. 2 years later, the aunt who cleared out the house stands up after Christmas pie with a little white box and pins something on her own daughter, the bride-to-be. Nell's grandfather, 89 and quiet since his wife died, has been staring at the empty chair beside him all afternoon. He bought a gift downtown in 1961 with his whole first paycheck, and he walked home because he had nothing left for the bus.
