An Alabama woman is looking for the owner of a lost teddy bear she found, because it contains something they might be interested in having back... human ashes.
Vicki Wise says she was driving through her neighborhood when her daughter noticed a teddy bear sitting by a pile of garbage. She got out and picked it up, thinking it would be a good toy for her dog. But then she noticed a Velcro pouch in the bear's back. Inside the pouch was a small box with the name "Barry Freed" written on it and a note saying he passed away on May 20th, 2020. Inside the box was the deceased remains.
Vicki says, "I don’t know who he is. All I know is his name and the date he passed away. I don’t know where he’s from. I don’t know anything about him. But I do know that he had to be loved, and I know that the person he belongs to is missing him.” (WHNT-TV)
Scott's Thoughts::
- Good thing she saved it from the trash collector or it would have been gone forever. At least now there's a chance it can be returned to the deceased's family.
- How does someone let their loved one's remains end up on the curb?
- I want my ashes on my loved one's mantle so I can keep an eye on them!!! LOL.
