Diane I too feel the same way and would never ahve taken them home if I knew what a ruckus it was going to cause. My cousin and I were out there and if they ahd not been picked up where they were laying they would surely have been mowed into shreds. The area where they were it was impossible to know whom they belonged to and as she had done it once before we thought it might be nice to maybe find out who they belonged to and they could return them to the grave and secure them more securely. It was never my (our) intention to desecrate a grave just trying to be helpful. But truthfully, I am sorry we didn't just leave them lay or I hadn't said anything about it. Guess this is a lesson to leave well enough alone Sandy ----- Original Message ----- From: <DianePay@aol.com> To: <ILMARION-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, June 04, 2003 8:07 PM Subject: Re: [ILMARION] can someone identify these > Hi, > I visit my dad's grave about 3 times a year.
