To the editor:
Through the years I have read articles and seen on TV about the destruction and theft in cemeteries. I always thought what demented moron or morons could do such horrible acts on the resting places of the loved ones we have lost.
On a quiet cemetery lay several of my loved ones: my husband, parents, grandparents, sisters, brother and other relatives. In early spring, I visited the graves of my family members, and to my surprise, the decorations for my husband and parents were gone. They could not have blown off as I had them wired on. I was shocked and angry to think it happened to me.
The summer moved on, and in early October after many visits, the decorations on my sister and brother’s graves were missing. They, too, were wired on and couldn’t have blown off. My sisters and I have been putting flowers on their graves for 50 years.
To the person or persons that did this, shame on you. Get yourself help as you are very mentally ill.
Just remember, God is watching you.
