Naigle lived in Advance until recently. Although she is moving into her new home in Patrick Springs, Va., she still has family in this area.

âMy cousin once shared a story from a family friend who found special shells along the beach in Kitty Hawk, N.C., where she lived,â Naigle said. âEach one included a scripture written inside. She found more than half a dozen of those shells over the years. Each of the shells came to her when she needed it the most.â
