Severe weather has been an unfortunate reality for many throughout the US in the last week and among the victims was a married couple in Tennessee. When the couple’s family went looking for their will however, there was nothing to be found. But 55 miles away, in a neighboring county, at a home completely untouched by any storm Sharon Thompson found pieces of paper that seemed important but was unknown to her. But it was when she saw the names of the couple in a news article that she made the connection and got in touch with the sheriff’s office to report the find and get the document to those that were searching for it. While finding the will won’t bring back the makers, allowing the testator to have their intended final words revealed cannot but help warm the cockles of the heart after the terrible destruction that has been inflicted on so many during this holiday season.
