I also want all three of them to get together and drive to where I want to be planted.They know the location well. We used to vacation there and I feel in love with this State Virginia there when I was 16 years old . I like the thought of all of them alone with each other talking about me laughing at my faults and things I thought them. I have no thoughts of leaving soon but it gives me peace knowing they all know my wishes. It will prevent arguments like I had with my sister because my mother made me promise I would not do what my sister had proposed to her with her ashes.My older son did not like my wishes at first because I am a veteran. This is just like writing a will. Why leave things up in the air.My grandmother prepaid for her burial because there was things she did not want.I look forward to joining her and all my other family members someday that can wait until it is time. I obeyed my mothers wishes people came up to me and cussed me out.I did not do what they thought I should do. Can you imagine their surprise what her wishes where Since I will be living in eternity with her I thought it was best or she will make it hell.

I think my kids will be OK with that. I know a man who distributed his wife's ashes to the winds from a high point in a national park. To me it is only an issue if it is obvious and offensive to others. Frank I think I will join my brother if it is OK with my wife. I think my kids will be OK with that.

Given the texture of ashes, that was not possible without offence to others, so with his partner's consent, he now resides in a dam at the back of my home. I trust he is assisting in the regeneration of the local water birds. I say this with no sense of facile humour, but a true belief that this is what nature is all about - in the end, the world is its own recycler. I wish I had met Jessica during her life. She would have been a joy and an education to know. Frank My brother died in 2000, aged 68 and wished for his ashes to be spread on a Sydney beach.

If only those things that had the masses approval were done we would be in a very different world than we are now. A bleaker one too I imagine. I really am no expert on human remains ,I still remain using mine at the moment and hope they will one day be dispersed with love, joy ,and a sense of adventure. What a way to honour Jessica. I think that having been placed with love that is the only way they could be found. Maybe by now some local animal may have rolled his thickly furred body on them and they together are running, galloping or hopping accross some wilde pastures. Blessed be and in peace she is free.
