This is an updated and more close up set of photographs of the glasses. They are more on the grey/silver side. I did magnify them up in photoshop, so the color is correct, it is just now a matter of if the ones you have are mine special gift memory glasses lost on the trip.

With Thanks and sorry for all the contacting, but I really couldn't rest at the thought of getting my glasses back. This is a rough time for me anyway and I don't sleep too much anyway. My Dad was burried on my 40th birthday, which my birthday will be here again on the 28th of April.

 I thank you for everything that you have done to help me in this possilble reunion.

With Great Thanks, Katch

Dear Dawn,

I could even drive to where you are, if that would make it easier on you.  Just a thought.

Thanks, Katch   :)

Dear Dawn/DonnieMO,

I forgot to say I can do a reward if that is what you would prefer, since that was on my original post, so please do not think I forgot.  I am just on cloud nine and couldn't get everything in. 

Looking forward to talking with you soon.

With Thanks again ALLways,

Katch

Hey SoloKat,

How are you doing.  It was great to meet you on the trip.  I look forward to talking with you again soon and keep on keeping on. 

Thank you so much for keeping me in your prayers, I think I just might have that prayer answered........... Just waiting now to get a response.  Cross your fingers please for me.  Please say a prayer for DONNIEMO as she is the answer to the prayer-hopefully, but regardless, she was kind enough to reply to my request and for that alone I am thankful.

With Thanks for your thoughts and prayers for this special gift,

Katch

Dear DonnieMO,

I see that you too had an awesome Father and you can totally identify with my loss, so I guess you know where I might be coming from.  My Father fought colon cancer, my Mother fought Breast Cancer & her Daughter (my Mother) fought breast cancer too and on the day before the accident he had given me the glasses, but had planned a special day for my Mom by taking her out for a fomantic picnic to celebrate her last radiation treatment.  I am up to go with my Mother for the genetic cancer test in a couple of weeks, but with my history I would think it is a definite.  Of course they never made it to their romantic date because of the woman who ran the red light.  My GrandMother developed breast cancer when she was 42 (1942-when they knew absolutely NOTHING & nothing was left of her left side) but she lived to be 3 weeks short of 100 years young, so I walked on the cruise for my whole family or in their honor along with all the other wonderful people who have dealt with this dreaded disease.  I am shaking right now-you just don't know, you cant have any idea. 

OMGosh - Are you really serious?  I had given up on finding this treasured gift and I can't even really type right now, so forgive me if I make mistakes.  I have almost given up hope on ever finding them since no one had even read the blog, but I am so glad I checked it tonight as I had a though of changing the title.  I had to just still keep the faith and you are the angel that I was thinking existed for replyng, my belief in true, honest women has never left my sight and is still in full force.  They are silver, but on the lighter side towards light grey/white.  They are black and sorta wrap around the eyes (at least on my size face) and the arms are sort of spring like, in that they don't fold down like other glasses do.  If you want to look at my photos you will see me wearing them most of the time especially since the loss of my Dad.  OH!!!! this is a unbelieveable feeling and so incredible if this is can possibly be real-I feel like I am in a dream or asleep because I just don't know what to do.  I am just so happy that you may have my gift sunglasses in your fine loving care and that they may still be within reach with all the areas that Olivia can reach around the world.  If you would like to ask me ANYTHING about the glasses or I can even show you my empty case, I will do it. I will answer any question you have, since I am in your need and true help.  After I prove myself to you (if they are the ones-which i have a real feeling they are-call me an optimist-with faith in the women of Olivia & my neighbor State), if they are mine and I am praying that they are, I can and will do anything to get them back safe and sound as possible.  I can and will also buy you any pair of sunglasses for taking such good care of mine. 

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for looking on this blog and for taking such good care of them-you simply just do not know.  I so hope that they are the ones, hopes and dreams are totally still in tact.  This is the last incredible conversation I had when my Father gave me these sunglasses, then after he died, I will always remember his smile when he gave them to me and said I looked beautiful as the day I was born.  You are indeed an angel.  Let me know what I can do and I will do what ever I have to do.  I will look forward to talking, emailing, or responding to the blog.  Like I said I had sort of given up and even the main company said they no longer made them (and it wouldn't have or will be the same), so basically, I was out of luck.  I am crying at just the thought that they may be back in my life again and so close to being in my hands again, so regardless of anything, thank you for thinking and let me know what would be our next step that I can do.   OM Gosh, I am in another world.  With Blessed Thanks for looking and posting that you possibly found a true and special memory and gift.  You know the women of Olivia are truly the best and I know this truly confirms it.  I will look forward to hearing from you when it is best for you.  Again, I am with total thanks that you responded,

Peace and With Incredible Thanks,

Katch!!!!!!!!!!!  Wow - somebody pinch me because I feel like I am in a dream.

Again Thanks (I think I haven't said thanks enough) and Waiting to hear from you, Katch

While un packing I have an extra pair of sun glasses, the only difference it the nose brige is sliver not white but they are silhouette.... Can these be them??
