Letter To
The Editor
In
response to the letter about the care at the Catholic Cemetery. My
family has a plot there and we spend a lot time up there. In the
last two and a half years or so I have seen a lot of work done to
improve the look of it. Trees trimmed back to stop the damage to the
fences, fences repaired, trash cleaned up from over the stonewall
and containers put out for use and emptied as needed.
Dandelions are out and seem to be back the day after we mow our own
lawn... In the time it took you to write your letter you could have
done what we did and taken them out yourself. As for the person
caring for the cemetery, thank you very much for all the hard work
you have done there. To the letter writer, open your eyes.
Sincerely,
Brenda J.
