Letter: Cemetery donations

From Larry Burton

My name is Larry Burton, son of Luther and Agnes Burton, from Burton Ridge of course. Almost all of my ancestry is buried at Bearwallow Cemetery. I donate $1,000 a year to keep my family's graves looking nice. Our cemeteries like Bearwallow work on donations.

When you have a family member die, the funeral homes have a donation system that could help us keep our cemeteries looking neat and tidy. When you donate to plant a tree or other things that you will never see it is a good thing. However, if you would, donate to keep our cemeteries like Bearwallow or whichever your family may be in. You can observe the effects of your donation.

My personal feeling is that our love for our families in life can be turned to respect for them after death. Keeping the homes of their earthly remains looking very nice is an honor for each of us. Hopefully some agree and help this cost.
