My 13-year-old daughter was in Bendigo during the school holidays, visiting her old school friends, and lost her mum's wedding ring - a simple silver band. 

The ring was of significant sentimental value as her mum passed away in January. 

We were very gratified both your paper and the morning presenters, Al and A.D., at Star FM, picked up the story. 

It resulted in significant coverage, even in Melbourne, none of which we would have envisaged.

Unfortunately, all our best efforts were not successful, but we live in hope. 

Regardless, we were extremely gratified by all the support and kindness shown and express our thanks to all those who made an effort to assist.
