Sorry about your Mom, I do want to say thou that I think that is pretty neat, you taking your Moms earn fishing with you. I am sure she is always with you. Before my brother passed away he asked me if I would take his ashes to the lake that we spend a lot of time at, camping and fishing. He wanted me to spread them over the lake . It took me a few years after his death to carry out his wishes, I did get it done, I remenbered him saying, sread them around the lake, so being the lake wasI'd guess around 20 miles of shore line , I DECIDED IT WOULD BE EASIER TO GET IN THE CAR AS MY SISTERINLAW DROVE SLOWLY, GET IN THE PASSENGERS SEAT, OPEN THE BAG, AND SLOWLY LET THE ASHES GO AS WE DROVE AROUND THE LAKE. WARNING___DO ____NOT_____TRY_____THIS, not noticeing a car had come up behind us, they started honking, I turned to look, they had their windsheild wiper on,to clear the ashes of my brother off so they could see, not to mention MY MOTHER WHOM WAS IN THE BACK SEAT,I GLANCED AT HER AND SHE HAD A WHITE ASHIE MUSTACHE ACROSS HER LIP. Needless to say, it wasn't at all funny then, but as time passed, we now set back and laugh, as I am sure my brother looking down, seeing his Mom and Sis carrying out his wishes, got a good laugh hisself. And another thing, when we got back to town and got out of the car, the back window and the bumper was full of ashes and dust. So, I looked at my Mom, she kinda had a look of disbeleif on her face, I said Mom, I guess he decided he did"nt want to be on the lake, so he caught a ride back home with us.
