It's really beautiful. You'll treasure it forever. I always wear Isabelle's pawprint around my neck, so she is, and always will be, with me. I know it helps you feel Fortis even closer to your heart.

I personally would have been hurt if you hadn't showed it!!!! 
Now, don't lose it on your hike!

Strange? That is simply beautiful and honorable, Brett. We must know where Pattie got it! And what's the 925 significance?

I don't want to speak out of turn or not let Brett answer, but the 925 is sterling silver and the symbol should be the maker's mark.

Thanks. How appropriate that the mark is a candelabra with three candles! We like.
