Wife Sends Travel-Loving Husband's Ashes In A Bottle Around The Florida Coast

One widow is giving her travel-loving husband a final adventure at sea.

In March 2012, Beverly Smith, 56, put the ashes of her late husband, Gordan Scott, in a bottle and tossed them off the coast of Big Pine Key, Fla., WCVB reported. With his remains were $2 and a note instructing whoever recovered the bottle to "call and tell [her] where he is."

Gordon Scott Smith, from Louisville, Tenn., had died at 57 from a sudden brain hemorrhage three weeks earlier, according to USA Today. But his wife honored his love for travel, and now, with the help of a few kind strangers, his memory is living on in various places across the Florida coast.

"He loved the ocean," Beverly Smith told the paper. "I wanted to let him travel a little and let him sail away."
