FORT MYERS, Oct. 8 (AP) Ashley Garner has given up seeing her wedding ring again.
She lost it outside her Fort Myers home just days before Hurricane Ian slammed into Florida’s southwest coast last Wednesday.

Although her husband and three young children searched around their yard and garage for two days, there was no sign of the ring.
“I just accept that it’s gone,” Garner said.

“It’s just one thing. It’s replaceable and I just let it go. We knew a hurricane was coming, so we just said goodbye.”
During the storm, the family stayed home and went out to clean up as soon as they passed.
“We had about a 10-minute cleaning job, and my husband was cleaning brushes and trees next to the garage door,” Garner said.
“There was a bunch of bushes and trees and he went over a bunch and the ring was there.”
Garner said she couldn’t believe they found the ring. Her community has not experienced the destructive flooding that many parts of the state have experienced. But winds of 150 mph left large numbers of trees and bushes across the area.
“I just sat on the side of the road and I prayed to God and thanked him for giving us a sign that there is hope for the community,” Garner said.
Garner posted about finding the ring on Facebook earlier this week. (Associated Press)
