Phyllis Hall says there are Angels Among Us. She has three. One is a 25-year-old living daughter. Her two sons were killed in a car accident in 1993. Her struggle and her ability to overcome the grief and despair are a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the power of love.

Through faith and determination, Phyllis found comfort in the unbounded love she still felt for her two sons. It was that love that inspired Hall to create “With Me Always” Angelheart Jewelry. This exquisite expression of love is formed by the simple outline of an angel with heart-shaped wings. Angelhearts can be adorned with a loved one’s birthstone and worn as lapel pins, tie tacks, necklaces and earrings.

Phyllis encloses original poems with each piece of jewelry. Her company, Mother of Angels, based in Carlsbad, California, gives a portion of each sale to the Jenna Druck Foundation, a nonprofit organization in San Diego that helps families deal with the loss of a child, and other charities.

“One night, two years after losing my sons, I began thinking about a mother’s love – how amazingly strong it is -- and how my own love for my sons kept growing. Even though I couldn’t touch them. Our love had reached a whole new level since they passed on. The design for an Angelheart just popped into my head and I grabbed a pencil and drew it. I always called my eldest son Angelheart.”

Phyllis contracted with a local jeweler to craft necklaces from her design. The same day they were finished, Phyllis wore one out of the store. Another customer noticed it and asked the jeweler if she could buy one. Phyllis says that since that first time, she frequently sells Angelhearts “right off my neck.”

Many of her customers are mothers giving them to their children or sons or daughters buying them for their mothers. Husbands give them to their wives as an expression of love. Many just fall in love with the patented design.
