...re: the serene cemetery near the blasting zone...<br /><br />On one beautiful summer day, years before she died, my Mom asked me to accompany her to purchase a grave plot at Lorain Calvary Cemetery. She wanted to be buried in a wide open area, with unobstructed view, with all headstones flush to the ground. Most importantly, she wanted no trees anywhere that could "grow their roots into her." No amount of reasoning with her, i.e., that she would be inside a metal coffin, within a concrete burial vault, would dissuade her opinion. <br /><br />After she died and was buried,of course, the cemetery changed its policies: Upright tombstones and trees are now allowed in all of the newer sections. So that grassy area with level grave markers, where she was laid to rest, is now riddled with newly-planted trees and upright headstones! It is always something...Cathy Knoreply@blogger.com
