It contains some ashes of her dad who died two years ago after a short illness.

  • Amy O'Keeffe:

Amy and her partner Jon searched Southsea Rose Garden and other areas nearby without success.

So she sent out a tweet appealling for help but having just 32 followers didn't expect it to go viral in the way it did.

Amy hopes someone has picked her pendant up and that the publicity she's had will mean they'll be able to find her to return it.
