The ring Tony proposed with belonged to Joan’s maternal Grandmother, Joan. Unfortunately we were never able to meet her. Grandma Joan passed away when Gina, Joan’s mom, was just 3 years old. There were only two items left to Gina from her mom, a necklace charm and this ring. The ring was bought for Grandma Joan as her high school class ring. Tony could not have picked a more perfect ring to propose with than the one that belonged to the woman Joan is named after.
