Our Angel Wing Contest Week 2 Winner

Congratulations Lorraine Russo !


It is not hard to describe my angel because of who she was.  Caring, helpful, selfless and loving. Alice Helble cared more about others then she did herself.  Many times in my life I witnessed her kindness to others.  At Thanksgiving she had an ecumenical table.  People of any race, creed or color were welcomed at her table and she never had a bad word to say about anyone.  More then anything else Alice taught me how to live my life as a true caring person through her kindness and love.  As she lay dying she still had her list out for Starfish to see if she could help others who needed a ride to a doctor or any appointment.
I know now that Alice is still with me because of the example of her life.  It left an indelible mark on my life that will never be forgotten.  Her recent loss has left a physical void in my life and the life of all who knew her.  But her spirit, the true sign of an angel lives on in all of us.

Today,  Andréa Candela  brings customers beautiful jewelry that is universally acknowledged to

October's Birthstone: The Opal

Image
The word comes from the Latin opalus, meaning "precious jewel." Each Opal is truly one-of-a-kind; as unique as our fingerprints. Some prefer the calming flashes of blues and greens; others love the bright reds and yellows. With its rainbow of colors, as you turn and move the Opal the color plays and shifts, giving you a gem that can be worn with a plethora of ensembles.

Happy Thanksgiving!

What exactly do you think of when you hear the word Thanksgiving?  Do you think of your Mom's famous Thanksgiving dinner?  Do you think of your children devouring every bit of pumpkin pie?  Maybe you think of the mob of people lined up to watch the Thanksgiving Day Parade. No matter what thoughts Thanksgiving conjures up, we never forget one thing; how very thankful we are for all that we have, all that we are, and all we can do.  The most important thing we can do is remember to be thankful for our dearest family and friends, and everyone who has touched our lives this year. All of us at Corbo Jewelers would like to wish you and yours a wonderful Thanksgiving Day. Sincerely- Steve Corbo
