She was just like that, mine mine mine. It's not as if she
was estranged from her daughters. She said let their husband
buy them their own jewelry.

A real waste, agreed.

I'd love something like that, too bad your son doesn't want it.

I wonder what will happen to the curved glass/clawfoot china
cabinet that my mother has at her place. It's been in the family
for however long. Who has room for such a thing? Well, my brother
does, and it would go great in his house, but with kids running around,
seems dangerous. Anyway, that's what comes to my mind when I think
of that, what will happen to possessions.

Why not. Anyone who appreciates it and wants it.
