It is devine irony that within the darkest moments we are capable of revealing the greatest light, demonstrating what is best with humanity. This is the story of Timepiece.

Just as Maryanne bestows on Richard a unique heirloom timepiece to pass on to his thoes you love. It's message of the ongoing nature of life is a reminder that the connections from one generation to the next are indelable.
