"Doug Basile walks the beaches of Stone Harbor as part of his routine."
"He strolls along the shore and will pick up litter if he finds it to beautify the area."
"The message came from a woman named "Kim," describing what she thought might be her last beach day with her 85-year-old mother."
"What hit Doug even harder was that he himself lost his mother at 85-years-old this summer."
Doug Basile walks the beaches of Stone Harbor as part of his routine. He strolls along the shore and picks up litter to beautify the area. One day he removed a bottle from the sand, initially thinking it was trash. Inside was a rolled-up message from a woman named "Kim" describing what she thought might be her last beach day with her 85-year-old mother. Doug had lost his own mother at 85 that summer. The coincidence created a powerful emotional resonance. The bottle's message connected a stranger’s poignant moment with Doug’s recent personal loss.
