Man's bottle message found after his death

This is a sad story…

A message in a bottle was found by the writer’s closest friend after his death and the message was passed to his mother who clearly remembered the day when he wrote the message.
Though I do not believe any spiritual thing, I can not help feeling something from this story.
Peace to his soul!

On the other hand, I remember the other story of message in bottle… (See: The Way AONORI Sees It: The thrill is gone: Message in bottle called 'litter')

Man's bottle message found after his death - Yahoo! News

ANTIGO, Wis. - Years after casting a bottled-up note into a lake for a class project and just one year after his death, a man's childhood message has been found and returned to his mother.
Eleven years ago, a then 10-year-old Joshua Baker wrote the message nestled in an empty vanilla container, his mother, Maggie Holbrook said. He died last February following a motor vehicle accident in California. He had recently returned home after serving in the Middle East as a U.S. Marine.
"I think he was just letting us know he was OK and to keep doing what we are doing," Holbrook said.
The message surfaced in White Lake in late April, just days after the 11th anniversary of its casting. It was found by one of Baker's closest friends, Steve Lieder, of Antigo, she said. Lieder and two friends were chatting near the lake when they looked down and saw the bottle. They broke it open and found the note inside:
"My name is Josh Baker. I am 10. If you find this put it on the news. The date is 4/16/95."
They immediately took it to Holbrook, who said she is now having the note preserved and will display it in her home.
She can remember when her son wrote the message for the school project. She said she always wondered why they didn't put it in the nearby Wolf River, which has a much stronger current.
"I still remember the day he wrote it," Holbrook said. "I couldn't understand why they threw it in the lake. No one would ever see it again. Now I know."
