My first Daytona is a special one

I recently inherited this beautiful piece. This came from a very close family member who tragically passed away recently. Looking down on it reminds me of amazing memories which make it infinitely more special.

Sorry to hear about your loss, but it’s amazingly nice to have such fine mementos from a lost loved one. Makes them all the more special.

Looks like there are a few other boxes there in addition to the Daytona?

Sorry for your loss. It’s a very nice piece with both fond and, evidently sad memories attached.
