Eloise was cremated, as was Bill several years earlier. His son said that Bill wanted his ashes in the ocean so he could travel around the world. Eloise wanted her ashes mixed with Bill's. His son decided to put them in the river in New Orleans so they could flow to the Ocean. We said a few words, blended their ashes as we were pouring in the river then threw some flowers in the water. The location was over a levee at a park area about 6 blocks from Tulane. Bentley told me later that he had put two markers in the family plot in Liberty, Miss.
