AUBURN —The ashes of a Maine man that have been scattered all over the world by strangers who connected with his mother on social media are now being launched into space. Using her Facebook page, Auburn resident Hallie Twomey has mailed hundreds of packets of her son C.J.’s ashes to people willing to scatter them on beaches, mountains and other places he didn’t get to visit before he died four years ago. On Thursday morning, a vial of C.J.’s ashes will take a new journey when it is launched in a rocket from the New Mexico desert.
