Families Search for Missing Toys Containing Loved One's Ashes
TL;DR
Liz Atkinson, an emergency room nurse in Iowa, is searching for her late son's favorite stuffed elephant, which contains a portion of his ashes. The toy, named Bruce, went missing on a family vacation in Florida. The blue-and-red stuffed elephant that vibrated and played music comforted Gabryel, especially with post-surgical pain. The Atkinsons brought Bruce to Florida as a gesture to Gabryel. Tucking a portion of his ashes in Bruce's pouch was an eleventh-hour decision.
