I want to say Thank you to Isabelle. I live in Oklahoma and came last week to the cemetary where my Dad was buried. He died 3 months before I was born. I called the day before to let them know Iwas coming. When we gotthere, Isabelle had gone out and cleaned the tombstone and the area around it. She also had a place for us to put flowers near it.She went above and beyond to make our visit a great one! I will be forever grateful for her kindness!

Our family went to a Memorial Day service here at Pomona Cemetery which they have every year. It is held in the very old part of the cemetery with a monument to the Union Civil War soldiers buried on the grounds. The Pomona city Orchestra was on hand to play patriotic music, congresspeople gave speeches, the American Legion placed a large flower wreath in front of the Civil War monument. The program is only about a hour and well worth checking out. If you go next year, make sure to bring your own folding chair as none are provided.

Then I gave my uncle a couple packets of the same flowers so that he could Plant them at home too. I...read full review
