SERENITY RING & CANDICE
Hello,
I have found what I've been looking for in your black Serenity rings. I want 3 but need to know that I will have them in hand within 2 weeks. We lost my father 2 years ago, now my mother. I want to have these rings in time for her funeral, 2 will be a gift to my brother and sister.
Also.. I've seen the same ring on another website. It was mentioned to order up a size when ordering this particular ring. Do you find this to be true?
Thank you in advance..
Regards,
Candice eBay

Hello Candice,
I am sorry for your loss,
I just buried my father a week ago and gave the rings to the family to remember him and my mother, And yes in every case they needed a size larger than they thought. But I was lucky to have the rings with me for immediate sizing.
1st where are you? I should be able to get them to you within 4 days after order.
What sizes do you think you need?
I think what we should do is order a size larger than you need - and I will send a spare size larger than you wear.
After you determine which ones you don't want- you can mail the spares back to me. It is important to have all of you in a comfortable size.
The rings are really nice and are a perfect tribute.
I cant offer discounts on my eBay site but, when you use the website you can use
https://www.
use coupon code SOAR for a 10% discount on the check-out page.
In comments section write a note about the spare rings I am to send you.
I work out of my home and check the computer (my laptop) frequently) so I can make sure you get your order shipped promptly.
Blessings,
Diane
Hi Diane,
Thank you so very much for your quick reply. I do appreciate it!
I live in No. Dartmouth, MA, so the mailing time from MD to here isnt that bad.
My mother and father both lived in Bowie, MD for 20+ years. Small world.
I'm getting ready to order the 3 rings I need. I want them to all be worn on the middle finger.
My size is 10, so if I understand this right, I'll order an 11 for both myself and sister?
My brother I have to guess on .. he has no clue. So its a 13 for him.
I wanted to mention the beautiful, heart-touching site I came across and just realized it was yours. I am so sorry for your loss, but so grateful for this beautiful idea you came up with on the Black Serenity Rings. I am hoping they bring a measure of peace so needed at this time for my sister, brother and myself.. so thank you for that.
I appreciate the offer of sending the extra sized rings, but I hesitate on the offer. I'm not sure if you meant you'd send the "real" sized ring in addition to the larger one. I apologize, but Im alittle confused there.
Anyway, this is turning into a book.. thank you again for such a wonderful idea. I will definately spread the word on these rings.
Take care,
Candice
P.S. Thank you kindly for your discount.. it helps!
It is solace to be included in your journey, as helping you helps me.
Last week I buried my father and today is the anniversary of my husbands death.
I mailed the rings this morning so you should get them soon, with enough time to check the sizes.
Since you ordered on eBay- you could not use the discount coupon- it only works on my site. But I am sending you and your sister (or just you) 2 pairs of pierced "Dark Journey" earrings. One is in the white gold and one is gold. I hope you like them. It is very hard to find appropriate black accessory's, so I added them to the designs.
Remember to use the website www.expressionsofgrief to use the coupon code SOAR for 10% savings and returning customers can use the coupon code ALWAYS for a 15% discount.

Hi Diane,
I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your father and now the anniversary of your husbands death.
You tend to think back and relive that day all over again, it isnt easy. So much sorrow in such a short amount of time. I had no idea how I would feel until the deaths of my Mother and Father happened. We were just starting to come around from my dad dying when we suddenly lost Mom .. I'm hoping the rings will bring a measure of comfort to all 3 of us. (somehow, I think they will).
I look forward to seeing what you sent on the earrings.. thank you for that!! What is the charge for those?
I will use your regular website from now on, thanks for the reminder.
I will be in touch when I receive my rings and earrings 
Your in my thoughts and prayers today Diane.. take care of yourself.
Best regards,
Candice
Good Morning Diane,
I received my rings and earrings on Saturday. Thank you for rushing these out to me.
I wanted you to know that I was sent two size 13 rings and one size 11.
It should have been the opposite, but thats ok. I'm going to keep the one size 13 and return the other two rings (1 size 13 and 1 size 11).
Please send two size 10's. The size 11 was too big for my finger. I'll get them in the mail to you on Monday.
Also.. the rings are beautiful and have a nice feel to them. I was delighted to see that the earrings are nickel free, my sister has alot of trouble wearing jewerly, so one of those should work out great for her .. Thank you!!
Looks like I'll be putting another order in for more rings. My son saw what I had ordered and he wants one too.. now I have to check with my other 2 children. Cant give something to one without giving to all. I think I really hit on something here with your rings!!
Thanks again for everything Diane!!

I guess I AM GETTING SENILE !! Sorry
Don't send any back until you have what you need. I will put 2 size 10's in the mail Monday.
After we get you the sizes you need - you can send them all back at once.
I am happy to hear that you are pleased with the earrings. Black jewelry is almost impossible to find.
I have matching necklaces to those earrings.
Take Care,
Diane

Hi Diane!!
No worries.. I was at the office by the time these emails came in. The rings are on their way back to you. I mailed them from the office this morning and used the same box. I included the paperwork you sent to me in original order along with a sticky note requesting 2 size 10 rings.
I'm sorry, I hope this doesnt mess up your paperwork on all of this. I just wanted to get them back to you ASAP so I could get my other two. It was a nice thought on keeping the rings you've already sent. Sending all back at once would have been cheaper, but I didnt want to hold up any other sales you might have
Thanks so much for everything! I feel like I'm starting to know you here! =)
Take care..

LOL - PaperworK !! That would make my accountant laugh ..... if I had one.
I do feel as if we are 'kindred spirits". I just did the same thing at my dad's funeral. All of us had a mourning ring, and in fact dad wore one on his left ring ringer in memory of mom.
The grandson's were pall bearers and they had the ring to keep in memory.
On the wreath from the children there were 4 extra white roses that we each brought back. On the grandchildren's, the broken heart there were 7 red roses 1 for each to keep, and on the great -grandchildren's there were 8 buds.
My brother had me take a picture of each, and he is going to put the picture in a deep frame with the flowers (his and his son's).
My kids and grandchildren were able to visit dad in hospice and it was good for them and dad.
We left a composition book there, and we could communicate with each other and the kids would add things dad said or wanted or remembered.
My niece started a list of : "10 Things Pap Taught Me". Each list was memorable and touching.
I also had them make CD's from the pictures they had of Dad. We took our Laptops to the funeral and visitors were able to share our family photos and there was lots of smiling while remembering those times. We had pictures of mom too. The family has CD's of the photos that they can swap and watch or download onto their computers.
I am sure you are holding together and helping your family hold on to the memories - as you are single-minded in your pursuit of "family" too.
Keep it up - you can sleep later.

Good Morning Diane,
Well, Im sitting here with my new ring on my finger.. it fits
perfectly.. thank you!!!
I"m so happy to have it on.. I notice though that now that I have it
on, the grief is coming back again.. I guess the ring is a real
symbol, something to hold, grieve and remember.
I know the smiles will come at the many memories we had. I like to
think of this as a tribute to both my Mother and Father since we lost
both in just over 2 years.
I'm not sure how I missed your email below, describing what you did
for your father.
What a beautiful service you had for him. I really liked the
symbolism you did with the flowers too. The notebook was another good
idea and one I wish I could have used.
Mom suffered a bad stroke, it came out of the blue.. there really
wasn't much communication from her. My brother, sister and I were with
her everyday trying to make her comfortable and make her laugh.. I
believe she knew we were there with her, knew who we were. She tried
talking with her eyes, and there were times when we knew exactly what
she wanted or didnt want .. lol .. We had just gotten her into rehab
in D.C. when she suffered another stroke and we lost her the next day.
She waited for me to get back to DC to see her one last time, the
Dr's didn't think she'd last that long, but she waited... It all
happened so fast, from beginning to end, it was just over 2 weeks. We
all held onto hope until the end. Now we lay her to rest with Dad in
Arlington on the 1st.. the rings will be a memento to them both.
I'm so sorry for your loss too Diane, with the holidays coming and the
grief we both share on the loss of a parent, well, I'll be thinking of
you and saying a small prayer for you and yours.
Thank you so very much once again for doing this with the rings. I
cant express how grateful I am to have one.
Take care of yourself. You might be hearing from me one more time in
December. My eldest son is flying in from CA for the funeral. I will
ask him if he would like a ring too.. so there might be one more order
from me! lol ..
God Bless,
Candice
P.S. Almost forgot.. I ordered the size 12 for my youngest son this morning
