Family reunited with lost heirloom cane

CONROE, TX -- It made Cynthia Murphy Watson's Christmas when she learned that her mother's hand-carved cane had not been stolen like she feared, but had in fact been sitting in the Veterans Affairs clinic in Conroe for more than a year.

"It feels wonderful to get this piece of my momma (back), something of hers to hold onto," Watson said. "It feels like momma's still around."
