“One thing about her death has always bother me, As the wife of a Veteran who is interred in the Punch Bowl, a military cemetery equal in stature to Arlington she (Madelyn Lee Payne Dunham, 1922-2008) was entitled to have her remains buried along with her husband (Stanley Armour Dunham 1918-1992).
“Instead Obama had her cremated and dumped her ashes in the ocean, now I ask you, given that she did the necessary paperwork to insure her husband was buried in the Punch Bowl, undoubtedly she knew that she could be buried there with him as well.
“Obama choose to have her cremated and disposed of the ashes.”

“I Checked into it, even though space in the Punch Bowl is at a premium, as the wife of someone already interred there, she was guaranteed a spot with her husband.
“Just another example of how either Obama doesn’t understand American customs, didn’t care about his grandmother’s wishes or had something to hide.”

There is actually one spot I found online which claimed Madelyn’s ashes were interred with Stanley’s at Punchbowl and that was even after the public spectacle of the “ocean dump” and the horrible display of Michelle jumping up into his arms with her legs wrapped around his waist like all their problems were now over. I couldn’t believe it when I saw that picture and it has probably been removed from the internet by now but the mention of Madelyn’s ashes being placed with her husband are still around, IIRC they were part of some tourism website.
