After moms passing, Chet and George met with the Crematory Service. Her wishes were to be cremated with no service. Her notes said “have a party and don’t mourn”. Half of the ashes will be interred above ground at the Brooksville National Military Cemetery in Bushnell Florida. Chet is a Navy veteran from WWII. Here, there will be a niche for two and a final place for Chet also.
There will be a get together in Homossassa Fl for her local friends in March. Bonnie and George will attend and bring back the other half back to Pensacola. We will have a family ceremony at the beach she loved so much with the six of us-Bonnie, George, Robbie, Chaz, Becker, and Jennifer. Some time in the future, George will meet up with Josh and put the other half with John in Olyphant PA. We may also put some ashes in Plains (where she grew up), Franklin Street (where she raised us) and Harvey’s Lake (where she lived before Florida).
We will grant her wishes and "party it up" at the beach house for her. She loved it there and I will always remember her swinging on the swing on the front porch watching the sun set with us.
