Taking Kurt to the Sea, November 28th. I put his ashes, rice crispy, frozen, vegtables and flowers in a turtle mold. I felt bad putting him in the freezer, he hated being cold.😉

I love this picture of Kurt & Elena! ! I found this Holiday postcard about a month ago and it’s been sitting at my computer ever since.  Kurt always greeted me with a warm smile and a huge hug when I’d come to visit.
