Cemetery vandals have no respect

During the afternoon of Easter Sunday, I visited my mom and my husband, both buried at Fraserview Gardens. Normally, the garden is beautiful and well maintained.

During the afternoon of Easter Sunday, I visited my mom and my husband, both buried at Fraserview Gardens.

Normally, the garden is beautiful and well maintained. Family members honour their loved ones by placing flowers, growing plants, ornaments or solar lights at their grave sites.

As soon as I entered through the gates, I realized vandals had been at work. They destroyed flower arrangements, smashed carefully placed religious ornaments and broke or stole many of the solar lights.

My mom's solar lamp was a yellow globe (her favourite colour) hanging on a shepherd's hook with an attached crystal angel. The lamp in its entirety was gone as well as my husband's green solar lamp. Both plaques were broken.

What sort of person or persons get their jollies from destroying precious memories in a cemetery? Have you no respect? Did you run away after your cowardly act and say "Wow, I sure did a good job. I am so proud of myself!"

If that is what your thoughts were, then you are truly alone. There is no one on this planet who would agree with you or stand by you in your defence. We have a pretty good idea of who you are (surveillance cameras everywhere) and you are being watched.

Be careful what you do because your actions will come back to haunt you. Keep looking over your shoulder for the long arm of the law, until one day, it will grab you by the scruff of your neck. In the end, you will pay.
