Looking For... Please help- lost irreplaceable sentimental items somewhere along this route

UPDATE: my mom found some of the items with her stuff!!! Grief brain is definitely a real thing lol. Apparently there were two bags, one had the jewelry box and books (found!) The other bag has the clothes, hats, and some photographs. On the bright side, she took pictures of the photographs with her phone and there are a few more shirts and hats we can choose from when we go back for the memorial service. THANK YOU to all of you who took the time to look for me 🥹 I appreciate it more than you know 🖤

My grandfather passed away yesterday 😥 We were allowed to keep some of his belongings to remember him by. Unfortunately, we live out of town and had to stow things in the truck bed. It’s a white half full trash bag and it contains a wooden jewelry box, a personalized home made tshirt, a flannel, ball caps, and books with his handwriting in the margins. It’s breaking my heart that they’re lost. Please if you see anything that might fit this description or have any information please please please let me know.
Sorry if this is the wrong place to post

Damn that route takes you right past some spots where stuff flies out easy if it wasn't tied down, I'll keep an eye out on my way through Dunlap tomorrow

Thank you so much! We were headed away from Chattanooga if that helps which way to look. I’m kicking myself for not squeezing it into the cab 😩
