In Mesa, Arizona, 95-year-old Willis Wipf found healing in his grief after his wife Joyce passed away. To honor her, he began making earrings—first for her, then for neighbors.

Day after day, he polished stones, set them by hand, and quietly gave them away. Over the years, Willis has created more than 10,000 pairs, never asking for payment, only offering kindness.

Women in his senior community line up to say thank you and share stories of Joyce. For Willis, the work is more than jewelry—it is love reborn through small gifts, each pair a reminder that hands and hearts can still heal.
