Gallant said she wore the sweater Wednesday, and while talking to one of her son’s best friends, she felt something deep in the corner of a pocket on the sweater.
It turned out to be the necklace, which is a silver chain with a dragonfly that contains some of her son’s ashes and a pendant with Evan’s fingerprint that her dad wore until he died, reports WMTW.
Gallant said she has no idea how the necklace ended up in the sweater. She said she hadn’t worn it since well before losing the necklace.
