Woman Finds Bill Signed By Her Mother
This story from a Canadian newspaper recounts how a Nova Scotia woman found a banknote at a flea market with her own mother's signature on it.

"When I looked down at the $2 bills, this name was on the bill," Wells said. "Shirley was on the bill."
That got her attention because her late mother's name was Shirley.
She then studied the bill and said to Brennan.
"I think that's my mother's signature on a $2 bill," Brennan says.
Wells' mother has been dead for 12 years, but she recognized her handwriting right away.
"The emotions that came over me, I can't describe," Wells said. "My stomach did flip flops."
