Tending the cemetery

329

Editor,

Not only does our cemetery have natural beauty, it has 2 groundskeepers who work very hard to keep it that way and improve the grounds. Pat Lujan and Charles Johnson work 3 days a week and are doing a fantastic job. I am at the cemetery often and have been told numerous times the cemetery has never looked this good. On Memorial Day people brought lawnmowers and weed eaters fully expecting to use them only to find out they didn’t need to. They always had to in the past.

Families are seeing headstones that had been covered in leaves and pine needles for years. Pat and Charles are doing a great job, next time you see them please take a moment to say thank you. I also want to acknowledge the families that take such loving care of their loved ones graves. I don’t think you see this kind of family care in many cemeteries.
