Remembering the Grace I never knew

Grace was the elderly neighbour of a friend. I never met Grace but heard a lot about her, particularly when she was ill in hospital. When she died her family threw many of her possessions onto the beach and burnt them. I salvaged some pieces to incorporate into this reliquary.
