Unexpected discovery in thrift store: A note from beyond the grave

Shopping enthusiasts at thrift stores often don't suspect the surprises they might encounter. One second-hand store customer will long remember one of her visits because of a discovery she made in the pocket of a blazer.

For several years, there has been a boom in second-hand clothing stores. Has also seen a proliferation of thrift stores in large cities and smaller towns.

Regular patrons can find genuine treasures in thrift stores. Occasionally, surprising discoveries are made—mementoes from previous owners.

And such a remarkable discovery was made by an American woman. She found a blazer while browsing through the racks and shelves of her local thrift store. She wanted to see how it looked on her immediately. In the fitting room, she discovered something unexpected in the pocket.

Without much thought, the woman pulled out a small piece of paper. It turned out that the previous owner had written a note regarding... her funeral. "Bury me in this red suit," read the note left on the paper. The request wasn't fulfilled, as the blazer ended up in the thrift store.

It's hard to say why the request wasn't fulfilled; maybe no one simply found the note left in the blazer's pocket—no one until the American thrift store enthusiast discovered it.

The American woman posted a picture of the blazer and the note on Facebook. The post sparked many emotions and comments among netizens. Many expressed regret that the woman's wish wasn't fulfilled. At the same time, they expressed hope that the woman was buried in something equally special.
