Pat's Place

Lynn Marie Jewelry delivered several of her handcrafted genuine aquamarine necklaces today, and they are so lovely! The soft blue color is peaceful and gentle, and the little silver fairie at the clasp set them off so well. The necklaces are in memory of Pat Darling, Geoffrey's mother who had Alzheimer's disease for 24 years. She passed on in March 2012, just five days after her 90th birthday. It is in her honor that Feet of Memory Inc presents these pieces of jewelry. Soon, other products will be added to Pat's Place.

 

The purchase of these necklaces (that come in various carats) will help Feet of Memory Inc in its goal to raise funds for the Alzheimer's Association and the many services they provide. Please email us at feetmemory@yahoo.com for details and prices.
