Yes, I called the cemetery in question during the "sandbox" proposal. They allow memorial flowers (the stand-up crosses, hearts, etc.) until the marker is installed. All the markers are flat and uniform with a vase for flowers. Other items will be removed for mowing.
Maybe the items were...
I really want this to be real, but I don't think it is. I wish they included a picture of the "Bells" on the back; I wonder if the writer might have meant "Belles"?
Thanks for this find!
I'm thinking the same. I'm still looking for him; I wonder if this is a draft card for Frank H Hogan: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1951-25103-25785-62?cc=1968530
Registered in MO, birth date sounds about right. Most interesting is the scar on his left cheek.
Well, they did say 7-8 weeks, so I guess they're still within that window. (Side-eyeing the "Grateful Doe" thread; man, that case is being handled by a courier-turtle service . . .)
You're totally right. I'd just seen some online implications (not here!) that there was a more direct connection, and that doesn't seem to be the case at all. I'd be willing to bet that, once trials begin in earnest, the story of Terry White's murder will be revisited too.
I wish I could...
I suspect local media didn't check this out because the murder of Terry White isn't in doubt, and it doesn't seem to be relevant. According to the Roanoke Times, Terry White was shot in the chest, and the shooter pled guilty to second-degree murder.
All of this is available through the...
You're preaching to the choir (teacher here), but I do get irked when online commentators read informal language as either a sign of ignorance or a reason to ignore the message. (Not saying you did that, of course; I'm just spending too much time on Facebook!)
The editor of the Pulaski County...
Re: the language used by the Southwest Times . . . That is a very small paper. It publishes only five times a week, and it doesn't have as many employees as the Roanoke Times, which is much larger.
However, the Southwest Times is attentive to local needs, and their reporters are "boots on...
Then there are some strangers about to be sorely disappointed, as Highland Memory Gardens is not going to allow that--no way, no how.
Their website is "dignitymemorial.com." And if it can't be mowed, it doesn't go. (They should make that a slogan: no mow, no go!)
Just to be clear, are you speculating about why this *hadn't* happened, or advocating that WS members start making tips?
Not to speak for the moderators, but there was a vigorous discussion that involved custody issues a while back, and we were advised not to reopen that discussion again...
That particular post hasn't been mentioned, but employers aren't usually allowed to discuss matters of termination anyway. Here's a story from The Roanoke Times if you're interested.
Very much so. The sense I get is that most people are saddened and expect more charges. I wouldn't presume to speak for them, but neither should a bunch of Facebook or news story comments. They may be the "loudest," but if you're looking at a comments section for reasonable conversation, well...
Not surprised bond denied. I am surprised about the admission the kids were home alone; I would have thought they'd eat their own tongues before admitting that.
OK, I couldn't stand it . . . I just called Highland Memory Gardens with a question about flowers and other memorial items on graves. I learned that their mowing season started March 15 and will run until September 15. For sites where the marker is up, there is a vase for leaving flowers...
