This is very disturbing to even think about, not to mention to go through. <br />Morgan Mandel<br />http://www.morganmandel.com<br />http://morganmandel.blogspot.comMorgan Mandelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10118929301591850918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35940445.post-6811680482605755922009-07-12T07:35:06.588-05:002009-07-12T07:35:06.588-05:00Morgan, sadly this doesn't surprise me at all....Morgan, sadly this doesn't surprise me at all. Who remembers back a few years that mortuary who wasn't actually burying the bodies at all? The pursuit of money seems to be a most insidious evil. How can it be surprising that some little fish are trying to fill their pockets, when we see the Bernie Madoffs of the world making billions? Very sad state of affairs. And the NY Times story on this described the families wandering through the cemetary looking for the plots of their loved ones - and the image they described that stuck with me was not the groups of family members, but the solitary elderly widows and widowers looking for their spouses' graves. I don't suspect that the punishment will fit the crime, but one can always hope!<br /><br />And yeah, truth is so often stranger than fiction.Lisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13315265091119634416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35940445.post-65465999136524046302009-07-11T23:48:10.652-05:002009-07-11T23:48:10.652-05:00Even when you're not into visiting the cemeter...Even when you're not into visiting the cemetery, you like thinking that your relatives' remains are treated with respect.John Enrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14128784556482929672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35940445.post-33338064824818757202009-07-11T23:41:40.637-05:002009-07-11T23:41:40.637-05:00I know this question is not politically correct, b...I know this question is not politically correct, but why didn't these families notice the missing graves when they visited their loved ones? <br />Answer-they haven't visited in years, but they are now all into drama with the TV cameras.dgeorgenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35940445.post-10576537526002317672009-07-11T12:05:29.486-05:002009-07-11T12:05:29.486-05:00This story keeps getting more revolting.This story keeps getting more revolting.John Enrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14128784556482929672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35940445.post-78975298931161001322009-07-11T11:08:46.182-05:002009-07-11T11:08:46.182-05:00Egads - gawd, it's one thing to read about hor...Egads - gawd, it's one thing to read about horror in a book.

I read about this in our little local newspaper and it just seems totally incredible that they were able to do this in the first place with no one noticing anything odd was taking place there. That does have to be the ultimate act of non-caring for one's fellow man when they have to stoop so low as to desecrate a cemetery in that manner. Just totally disgusting.Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425701332785470116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35940445.post-30771555062184353312009-07-11T09:23:11.052-05:002009-07-11T09:23:11.052-05:00I've got a friend who lives in Chicago and he ...I've got a friend who lives in Chicago and he is just disgusted with this horrible crime! (And rather disgusted with the entire state - says California is no longer the perverted state.)<br /><br />L.
