Families Search for Missing Toys Containing Loved One's Ashes

Liz Atkinson, an emergency room nurse in Iowa, is searching for her late son's favorite stuffed elephant, which contains a portion of his ashes. The toy, named Bruce, went missing on a family vacation in Florida. The blue-and-red stuffed elephant that vibrated and played music comforted Gabryel, especially with post-surgical pain. The Atkinsons brought Bruce to Florida as a gesture to Gabryel. Tucking a portion of his ashes in Bruce's pouch was an eleventh-hour decision.

Iowa family's search for lost toy elephant with son's ashes at Disney World.

A family is seeking help after losing a stuffed elephant named Bruce, which contained a small bag of their late son's ashes, during a trip to Disney World. The toy elephant was given to their son Gabryel when he was in the NICU and was with him for over 50 surgical procedures. The family believes the elephant could be in the parking lot near Cocoa Beach Parasailing, the Palazzo, or the orange parking ramp of Disney Springs, probably after falling out of the car. They have filed a lost and found form for Disney and are asking for anyone with information to contact them.
