Cemetery theft…

To the Editor,

Two cobalt blue ceramic planters filled with perennials were stolen from the graves of Darold and Helen Maricle at the Spring Valley Cemetery. We have mixed emotions:

• Anger, that someone (who undoubtedly considers themselves Christian) would rob a gravesite;

• Pity, for whoever would stoop so low to such an act;

• And even a little pride, that someone thought the floral arrangements were pretty enough to steal.

The theft has been reported to the Fillmore County Sheriff. We will keep a lookout for the planters. If they turn up elsewhere in the cemetery, we will reclaim them and let the sheriff know where we found them.

Or, you can save yourself a lot of hassle and return them to the gravesite, no questions asked.
