Mama's Mountain
I just wanted to share this story! It really touched me since my mom recently passed away too. -BB
"Dear BB and Josephine,
I'm sitting in my niece's house in Renton, Wahington, wearing your "wherever you are" bracelet that I purchased today in Bellevue.
I flew up yesterday from my home in the San Francisco Bay Area. I brought my mother's ashes back to her childhood home, to be placed along side my father's urn.
Tomorrow, my niece, nephew, and I will make a pilgrimage to Mt. Raineir to scatter some of her ashes on her beloved mountain, lovingly referred to by us as, "mama's mountain".
I loved your bracelet the minute I saw it, and when I read what it said, I cried. I feel very comforted to have found this message on this day, in this place. I never plan on taking it off.
Thank you.
Patricia"

Denver Jeweler’s Bracelet Featured in Hit Music Video
Denver jeweler BB Becker believes a series of events ordained by a higher power led to a bracelet he designed being featured in the hit music video “Wherever You Are” by Military Wives Choir.
The video of the song—a No. 1 hit in the United Kingdom—features the bracelet as its first image. The image showcases an engraved quotation displaying words from Gandhi: "There are no goodbyes for us. Wherever you are, you will always be in my heart."
A series of fortuitous events led the piece into the hands of one of the singers in Military Wives Choir.
Becker had sold the Gandhi-inspired bracelet to David Baker of River Oak Diamonds in England, who in turn sold it to a mother of a soldier serving in Afghanistan. The woman then gave the jewelry piece to her daughter-in-law, a singer with the choir.
“It is amazing,” Becker tells JCK. “I didn’t even know about it until three weeks ago. I am happy to play a part in something beautiful.”

Becker sold some of these bracelets to David Baker of River Oak Diamonds in Gateshead, England.
Baker, in turn, sold one to a woman whose son was serving in Afghanistan. The woman gave it to her daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law became part of a chart-topping music sensation in the United Kingdom called the Military Wives Choir.
