Grandmother Surprised With Custom Figurine Of Late Husband

This is the sweet moment a grandmother was surprised to receive a cartoon figurine of her late husband who had passed away earlier this year. Arlene O’Driscoll, 80, lost husband Earl after he passed away in January, and so her granddaughter, Cheryl Simpson, wanted to create something special to remember him. Talented Cheryl, 25, spends her spare time customizing Funko Pops - figures based around pop culture - and so she decided to painstakingly create a version of Earl for Arlene's 80th birthday. In the uplifting video, shot on June 8, Arlene opens the package in her Wyoming home and turns to the camera saying, “Oh, it’s one of your little characters.” But little did she know that inside the box was an intricately detailed representation of her husband, who had worked for the United States Forest Service for a number of years. Spending roughly 12 hours on the model, Cheryl had included the likes of Earl’s uniform, sunglasses - and even made him hold a toy of Smokey The Bear. As Arlene then realizes who the doll represents, she yells, “Oh, Earl!”, before taking a moment to compose herself, holding back tears.
