Touched our hearts

On Sept. 17, my husband, granddaughter and I, went to the cemetery to clean the headstone on our son, John’s, grave.

We were surprised and touched at finding that someone had placed eight beautiful long stemmed red roses at his grave. We don’t know who placed them there, but want whoever did to know you touched our hearts by your loving and caring deed. And we want you to know we appreciate your kindness.

We noticed there was also the same kind of roses on another grave by the name of Colliers, but don’t know if there is any connection.

It’s a sad time when we go there, but seeing those roses made the trip easier just knowing that someone else also cares.

Again, thank you very much for caring.
