After a heartwarming reunion, the ashes of a deceased woman have been returned to her family in Kelowna.
The story began when a tent was discovered in a wooded area near the Okanagan Rail Trail. Inside the tent, a box containing the ashes of a woman named Mary was found. The tent was believed to have been abandoned for several months.
The discovery was made by a group of volunteers who were cleaning up the area as part of the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup. They immediately contacted the RCMP, who then launched an investigation to identify the owner of the ashes.
Through their investigation, the RCMP were able to track down Mary’s family and inform them of the discovery. The family was overjoyed to learn that the ashes of their loved one had been found and were eager to be reunited with them.
According to the RCMP, Mary’s family had been searching for her ashes for quite some time. They had been unable to locate them after her passing and were grateful to have them returned.
The RCMP were able to confirm the identity of the ashes through a unique serial number on the box. They also confirmed that Mary’s family had the proper documentation to claim the ashes.
The family expressed their gratitude to the volunteers and the RCMP for their efforts in finding and returning the ashes. They also thanked the community for their support and well wishes during this difficult time.
The RCMP would like to remind the public to properly store and label any personal belongings, especially those of sentimental value. They also urge anyone who may come across abandoned items to contact the authorities, as they may hold significant meaning to someone.
Thanks to the efforts of the volunteers and the RCMP, Mary’s family can now find closure and peace knowing that her ashes have been returned to them. This heartwarming reunion serves as a reminder of the power of community and the importance of preserving and respecting personal belongings.
