Ashes Scattering

September 2, 2008 · Filed Under Family · Comment 

Dad requested that his ashes by scattered in Middle Harbour.  It took a while for most of us to get together and to fulfil Dad’s wish but we did so on the 24th August.  We gathered at Middle Harbour Yacht Club around midday, merged some of Dad’s and Mum’s ashes into an old family urn that had been used to scatter the ashes of Dad’s grandfather in 1939, and then cast them into Middle Harbour from the end of the northern marina.  Most appropriate.

We then adjourned for a family lunch to celebrate Dad and Mum.
