Burial At Sea

Saturday the 13th we gathered, from near and far, to board a boat that would take us through a rainstorm to the three mile point where we could release my mom's ashes into her final resting place - the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf is a fitting place in that she has lived near it twice - New Orleans as a young adult and now the west coast of Florida as a retiree. We had people from different periods of her live, from many places in the country, and some who knew her all their lives to folks that she impressed in recent years. After the boat we assembled at a restaurant she liked for an early dinner and then to my house for dessert and coffee. It was a perfect day.
