— I never thought my family would be affected by the actions of suspected local thiefs. I have several family members buried at Sunset Memorial Park, including my mother. I am certain that when the criminals were stealing the vases, my mother was probably looking down from Heaven in amazement that someone would stoop so low. I contacted Sunset Memorial Park and they stated we would have to pay to have the vases replaced.
I feel that Sunset Memorial should replace all vases and go after everyone that was involved. Sunset Memorial Park should work with the families, police and the company that makes the vases to get this matter resolved. It is hard enough to lose a loved one, then something like this happens. To all families out there affected by this, I will not let this rest.
