Editor,
It’s sad and pathetic the poor shape/maintenance and total lack of caring at St. Mary’s Cemetery. What little maintenance is for the first few rows to give the appearance the cemetery has been cared for. Grass and weeds half as tall as headstones make the cemetery look abandoned. The church should be ashamed by letting this happen. I have personally had to mow our plot three times due to neglect.
