Dear Maggie,

I lost my Mom last year on her birthday May 2nd. She and most of her family are buried in South Plymouth Cemetery on Ashcraft Road. Since she has been there it has been mowed less than 10 times. All of them last year. Someone had told us that they were looking for volunteers this year because it isn’t in the budget. That is kinda messed up because they really haven’t taken really good care of it in recent memory. My brother, nieces and nephews and I tipped up about 15 stones that were tipped over and down over the bank. It is a shame that my 67 year old Father has to go over and mow. He usually mows 1/3 of the cemetery from where my mother is over, until he gets too irritated or tired. Maybe you, as a writer can put a bug in their ear. I will e-mail you some pictures that I took last Sunday in 2 separate e-mails to reinforce how badly it needs to be mowed. This cemetery is supposed to be perpetual care, as well. What is it, perpetual if we do it ourselves? Thanks for your time.
