Scattering Ashes Sept. 9, 2015

Don had one final request that he asked me to carry out.  He wanted his ashes co-mingled with his wife's then shipped to a couple in Arizona who had a small plane.  Don had already made the arrangements with them; they were to fly the ashes over a canyon outside of Sedona to be scattered over the red rocks Don and Vi loved so much.

Jerome, Az

I contacted the couple right away but their plane was having some work done on it. It wasn't until the first week in Sept. when I received word that the ashes had been scattered and there would be photos headed my way.

Cottonwood, Az

I could see why he chose this place, the scenery is lovely.

This was interesting--Don grew up in Cottonwood, Minnesota and now his final resting place is just outside of Cottonwood, Az.

The photos were all taken through the windows of the plane and some were hard to see when the sun isn't just right.
