Family heirloom found after going missing at hospital

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — A Sunset Beach woman has been reunited with her wedding ring.

Last week, Terri Gurganious told us her mother’s ring disappeared during a recent hospital stay in Little River, SC. The ring, which Gurganious said had been in the family for years, was even more precious with the recent death of her father.

After our story and their posts on social media, Gurganious’ sister said the ring was located in the bathroom of the hospital room, behind the toilet.

“Whether it was someone with a change of heart or it was there all along, everyone’s prayers worked,” she said in an email to WWAY.

The family said they wanted to thank everyone for their support and prayers.
