Walking along the shoreline as the sun set, a woman from Florida who was on vacation experienced an unexpected event.
She discovered a plastic bottle containing a phone, two $2 bills, and a handwritten note. She was shocked and confused about who the objects belonged to and where they came from.
She had no idea of their origin or purpose from the handwritten inscription in the bottle.
One day while strolling along the beach with a friend, Judi spotted a plastic container that the waves had dumped there. A cell phone, two dollar bills, and what appeared to be coarse sand were found inside.
When they read the message carried in with the tide—human ashes—they understood the true nature of their find. These were the remains of a deceased man who had died at the age of 70, the tearful woman revealed.
His grieving wife had made arrangements for his remains to be placed in this urn in his honor. They were all moved by her story and paid their respects to him in silence while they were on the beach.
A sentimental note about an elderly man named Gordon was found in the bottle. By putting her ashes in a bottle and discharging it into the ocean, his wife wished to pay homage to his memories and love of travel.
When the bottle was found, it contained a phone number, possibly so that Gordon’s widow could be contacted and informed of his whereabouts.
Judy was thrilled to learn from the man’s wife that the bottle containing Gordon’s bones had made it safely from Tennessee to Florida.
She gladly granted the woman’s request to reopen it and added an extra dollar as a thank you for whoever may have found it. When she was finished, she threw the bottle back into the water.
