When it came time to scatter my mother's ashes, I was able to remember her all over again.

    I can relate toJoe. We did the same with my mother's ashes. My mother, who died in India used to spend her time between India and US. Her ashes were immersed in a river in southern India but I also got a small amount of it which my son immersed in the Atlantic ocean where she spent many a happy days with my family and her grand children. So every time I think of her, I know she is present all around us, from India to US. These happy memories are what determines how successful a person's life has been. My request to Joe and his family - keep up the happy memories.

    I like this article because at first it was sad but at the end it was happy ending. The part I liked the most it was ???buried at sea???. When my friend passed their parents did same thing. We can???t do anything when someone passed away. All we can do is just pray.

    This was a great story.I think he made the right decision. I don't think he would get blamed for a murder, and if he did he has plenty of witnesses that will testify for him. He now has a place to go in rememberance of his dear mother.
