Not allow parents to mark a child's grave??? That sounds SO cruel! Message: 2 Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2009 11:34:43 -0400 From: "Michael J.

Thirty or 40 years ago this was not an option, and the Diocese continues to push back upon these requests. I'm looking for comments, suggestions from others who have run into this policy.  we have been trying to have something done for our daughter for over 10 years with no results.
