Ed and Toni Hewish have provided quality wash dial refinishing to the jewelry trade for nearly four decades. whether you know them from going to their Jewelers' Row location or through the mail, they have become like family members to many of us.

You may or may not know that the last several months have not been kind to Ed. His battle with bladder cancer seems to have been won, however, Ed has been suffering from a secondary infection caused by his last cancer treatment, rendering him unable to do his life's work at the present time.

I know that our watch community is a caring one, so I am imploring to all of you for help in caring for Ed, Toni, and their family in their time of need. I realize that these are the toughest of economic times but if you can spare a few dollars to help this wonderful family bet back on their feet, I know it would mean a lot to them as Ed recovers.If you can't make a monetary donation, you can help with prayers, an equally powerful way to aid in Ed's recovery.

Thank you for whatever you can do and God Bless the Hewish family and God bless all of you for your kindness and generosity.
