We the undersigned, are concerned citizens, families who urge Highland Cemetery Board Members to act now to fix these atrocious issues immediately, of the cemetery grounds and to allow us to grieve and remember our loved ones as we see fit. The grieving process is not something that is easily forgotten, the decorations, benches, statues, flowers, photos, stuffed animals/toys & letters that we bring is our way of grieving our loved ones by removing those hastily and tossing them in a trash pile the grieving process starts all over again, this is our right to grieve our loved ones and to honor them. Decorating for the holidays and seasons is a way to make this new eternal home more welcoming not only for them but for us as well just as their earthly homes once were. These plots that our loved ones are in are bought and paid for this is a piece of real estate that is owned outright by the individual and families.
