Ballylanders Graveyard:
It’s sad to report that some of the graves in our localCemetery are being disrespected. Many of the living relatives are very upset at this time. Flowers are being removed from some graves. We ask everyone to look out for each other. We really must put a stop to this unacceptable behaviour. Our dead are still very special to us and their final resting place isalso very sacred. Together let us make a determined effort to protect all that is sacred in our lives.
