This memorial shouldn't be merged with any memorial made in Arizona. The Arizona one was created by an organization that buries abandoned ashes of veterans. The ashes were scattered, not abandoned, and were only turned over to the organization by some third party who found the empty urns in my cousin's house when she went missing.
The memorial made in Arizona, if it is made again, will be a CENOTAPH.
This memorial records the correct final disposition of her ashes.
***My uncle flew to France on the Concorde, to scatter my aunt's ashes in her beloved city of Paris.
He then flew to her native Tokyo to scatter the rest there with her dear family. A small amount of her ashes were saved to later be scattered in Las Vegas with my uncle when he died. He died in 2002, and their combined ashes were scattered near the site of the former Sands Hotel by a small airplane.
Their only daughter kept the urns of both sets of ashes in her possession. My cousin went missing from her home, and her house was cleaned out. Her set of urns was turned over to a funeral home by some third party. The funeral home then turned them over to the project that buried them in Arizona, without contacting the family. I only found this out when I kept repeatedly losing my correct memorial to a cenotaph in Arizona. Support at FindAGrave has finally gotten this straightened out.
A sad story, unbelievable, but the truth.
------------
Aunt Emi was a very sweet and kind lady. Wonderful stepmother to Greg, and loving mother to Jennifer. Wife of Dewey, and beloved aunt to us. She was never harsh or unkind, and was very gentle and soft spoken. She called me "Pammie" my entire life, even when I was grown. She had beautiful long thick hair, and she always wore pretty clothes and jewelry. She always had her nails manicured and always looked so pretty.
These are all things that I will remember about Aunt Emi.
She called me very early every Christmas morning for years, after I was married. She wanted to be the first one to say "Merry Christmas." She was so loving.
I miss her.
Aunt Emi became a U.S. citizen on Dec. 16, 1958.
Rest in peace my dear Aunt Emi.

Gravesite Details
No gravesite. The plaque was placed in error by a group in AZ who didn't know my aunt and uncle's ashes were scattered. A third party found the empty urns which were buried in Arizona in a mistaken gesture of goodwill.
