Editor,
I recently read a Letter to the Editor in the Journal Tribune about a lack of care and attention being paid to St. Mary’s Cemetery.
Although my family and I live out of state in Massachusetts, we do have family members who are buried in that cemetery and so we drove up and took a look at what the writer of that letter was talking about.
We were appalled, to say the least, at what we found.
Beyond the first few rows, little care has been paid to the remainder of the cemetery. It looks more like something pout of a bad Halloween movie than a respected resting place for our cherished loved ones.
There are weeds 3 feet tall and the grounds have not been mowed in considerable time. This is uncalled for and needs immediate attention.
