Last Monday, my cousin (second mother/big sister) Sara passed away. She was 85 and not in the best health, but it was pretty sudden.
Since Emory University's hospital had helped her with medical problems over the years, she had asked that her body be used for medical training and research.
When we went down to Georgia for what we thought was gonna be a memorial service, we found out that Emory had declined her body due to the fact she had died of pneumonia and the infection was an issue. She had been cremated and her ashes would be interred after the service.
The minister, during the service, reminded us that Sara and her husband had been to all of the United States except Hawaii, because she didn't want to fly over water.
Madame Geezer and I are cruising from San Diego to Hawaii next week.
Sara's ashes had not yet been sealed up when we found this out.
The funeral director was able to find a zip-loc bag in the church.
The state of Hawaii has few restrictions on scattering ashes.
Sara (or part of her, anyway) is going to Hawaii.
Makes me wonder, it does.
