QUIRKY WORLD ... Son’s final journey reaches final frontier

SPACE ASHES

Using her Facebook page, which has more than 17,000 likes, Hallie Twomey has mailed hundreds of packets of her son CJ’s ashes to strangers worldwide so they can be scattered at the many places he was not able to see before he died more than four years ago.

A rocket containing a vial of his ashes has been launched into space from the desert in New Mexico. The rocket spent a few minutes in space before landing in the nearby White Sands Missile Range.
