A terrible loss...and it sounds like the experience with the insurance company may be adding insult to injury.

I never had a litigious bone in my body until I tried to fairly settle the value of my car after a teenager hit me and totalled it a few years ago. They tried to strong arm me into a settlement for too little money until I involved an attorney friend...not an injury lawyer...but a firm skilled in insurance work on both sides of the table.

You can't replace the memorabilia, but don't let the insurance company add insult to injury.
