I often visit Mt. Olivet Cemetery and have not experienced what you are talking about. Yes, the cemetery has been vandalized, the most recent being almost two years ago. But, almost all cemeteries in the area have a history of vandalism. This will continue as long as people don't visit their loved ones. As long as cemeteries are homes for the dead and not for the living, we run the risk of them being taken over by the those who wish to do harm. But we also do harm by allowing fear to rule our actions. Mt. Olivet is a beautiful cemetery with marvelous artwork among the headstones. It amazes me that these statues are forgotten and therefore lost to those who are alive. Although they are monuments to the dead, they are also monuments for the living. It means that this person was here and not to forget them. Trish
