I really know how you feel. The first Christmas after my Mom died in 2004 my Dad and I bought a beautiful silk arrangement to put on her grave. When I went back just a week later it was gone. I was told by some other people visiting there that it's very common for people to steal the items left at grave sites to sell at flea markets. GRRR!!!!

Now the latest thing to happen at that cemetery is thieves have stolen entire markers to sell for scrap metal. It happened a couple weeks ago and I just haven't felt like going to make sure Mom's is still there. I think that would wipe me out!
