Penny in a toolbox?

This is an amazing story that I couldn't wait to share.

Went out to dinner with some special friends on July 23, 2015.  One of our friends had lost his sister to cancer several weeks prior.  I had found a ceramic vase in the design of coveralls.  I glued one of my special pennies on the front, filled it with flowers and put in a special decorated bag.  He just loved it, even the waitress thought it was nice and asked what is was for.  I said that our friend here had a sister who past away a few weeks ago and we are sharing her memory tonight.

Later I told him and his wife about my penny stories through the years and I told him that if he ever found a penny after tonight to take a picture along with a message and send it to me.  He said that it would probably be one of his grand kids that would be the first the pennies, but promised that no matter who he would pass the information along.

We ended the night with good memories.

The next afternoon I got this email with the following message from our friend:

Kathy,

I know this is amazing, I went searching in my toolbox today (7-24-2015) and under things was this shinny penny.  I didn't remember it being there.



I was so surprised!!!  I wished we had a photo of him finding it there.

Below is the card we just got in the mail 8-10-2015
