Marka's plumerias

We spread the ashes of my mother, Marka Ann Oliver Wilson Hibbs, last week off this point at Ha'ena, right around the corner from the northernmost part of Kauai and thus of all the Hawaiian Islands. She had a place there for 20 years, and it was her favorite on Earth.

After paddling out on surfboards, family friend Tommy and I performed the ritual -- as another friend wrote afterwards, "Nice place to be for eternity" -- and then we tossed plumerias after her into the blue, both strung as leis and loose.

The blooms were carried back up to the beach on the waves, and lined the sand for hundreds of feet.

That's my niece Michelle in the photo above, among her grandmother's flowers.

Amazing writing!! Going to take a bit of time to think about this article.

I love when you talk about this type of stuff in your blog. Perhaps could you continue this?

You completed several good points there. I did a search on the subject matter and found the majority of folks will agree with your blog.

I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?
