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 astounded and confused about the origin and ownership of the objects.

She had no idea of their origin or purpose from a handwritten inscription in the bottle.
A plastic container had been washed up on the shore by the waves as Judi and her companion were strolling along the beach. Inside they found what appeared to be coarse sand, two dollar bills, and a cell phone.

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.
To honor him, his grieving wife had made arrangements to have his remains placed in this urn. Everyone on the beach was moved by her story, and they all silently paid their respects to him.
There was a touching message about an elderly man named Gordon in the note that was found in the bottle. His wife put her ashes in a bottle and released it into the ocean as a way to honor his memories and love of travel.
When the bottle was found, it had a phone number, probably so that Gordon’s widow could be contacted and asked where he had ended up.
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 was happy to reopen it at the woman’s request and added an extra dollar as a thank you for whoever might have found it. To conclude this wonderful event, she threw the bottle back into the water.
