  • Armando Rodriguez made a shocking discovery while renovating Texas elementary school's gym. He found a 63-year-old purse beneath the floorboards. Turns out, the purse belonged to a 13-year-old girl named Beverly Williams. Inside her purse, she carried photos and other mementos, including a civil defense card from 1959. Sadly, she died in 2015. But her daughters were amazed to see old photos of their mother's classmates and their grandfather.

      In my freshman year, 1989, I lost my purse. In 2018, I got a call saying someone found it. Inside were still some scrunches, my coin purse, and many jumbo-sized tampons. It was very embarrassing because that headline went all around my town.

    How precious of an experience for the daughters after a comfortable amount of time has passed since their mother went over the rainbow. I say it like that because all the consuming pain that we feel when love ones pass for a year or several after would definitely change the way they view this experience. Here they can experience with almost pure certain joy.
