Family Heirlooms: Who gets them?

Loading player...
While J Sbu isn't in today, Stacey shared a story quite close to her. A few years ago, her grandmother (now 94) gave her a diamond ring. Something her grandmother received from her own mother. Now this ring skipped Stacey's mother and her younger sister.

After sharing this, she asked you, who is getting the family heirloom in your home?

We heard from the youngest in the family and the oldest in the family (everyone in between too).

If you missed it live, listen in!
