MAILBAG: God knows who is stealing flowers

Posted: Thursday, June 18, 2009 9:25 pm

Well, it seems Portage has a plethora of grave robbers. This is one more letter filled with pity for the "non-caring" who took a hanging basket and a plant with stand from my family's gravesite at Silver Lake Cemetery.

I agree that the flower baskets were much more expensive this year, but it's even more expensive when you must replace them. Is there an English word for those who steal just to look devoted at the gravesite? Or did you take them home?

Either way, God knows who you are.
