This reminds me of something my mother owned & is one of the few things of hers that remind me her. She died just before my 9th birthday, so theres little I really remember of her. I think she was kinda religious. I can see her holding her rosary (pearls/chain with a cross). I found her prayer book so instead of carrying a bouquet at my wedding, I carried a few flowers & her prayer book.
MotorsMommy, Go ahead, glue it. If you are religious & think you shouldn't, I'm sure he would understand & glad that you got it back to how you prefer. If you can't find "crazy glue" there's some similar/good stuff called "Gorilla Glue" (Found at many hardware stores or areas. I've also seen it at the glue area in stores & by the check out.)
