Roxanne, I've got a better story. When I was 19 years old I came from college for the summer of 1970. For some reason not remembered, I was using my step-mother's car and opened the trunk. There was a flight bag there and being curious I unzipped it. Lo and behold! There were my mother's ashes in their sealed urn! Why my Dad put them there I don't know, but when I told my step-mom, she nearly flipped! She had been driving all over San Diego with the first wife's cremations in the back end for who knows how long! I urged my Dad to respectfully find a less mobile resting place for my mother. Permanent disposition unknown to me to this day.

After a year or so, her cremains were returned to us. She currently resides under my sister's couch. I've left the Legacy burial information blank.
