I would like to comment on the removal of "stuff" from the grave sites. I fully support the move to restore some peace and uniformity to the cemetery. Less is more.

I wanted to restate what I said wanting to return the Cemetery grounds to their more historic, traditional appearance with only the standard grave decorations that are allowed. I know this must have caused some real hurt to folks who had been told it was OK and that is hard for you and Board to enforce the rules and remove their additions. You seem to have handled it well by collecting the items to a place where they could retrieve them. Thank you also for directing me to the online copy of the Cemetery Association bylaws.

I have my son here since 1976 and have observed the progress thru the years of making Cottage Grove Cemetery a place of peace. It is maintained well. Ken Otto is an asset to the organization. He is professional and personable with high standards. I am pleased with the new guidelines, so it doesn't look like a circus which cheapens the atmosphere of peace & reflection.

The black topping of the roads is a great improvement. The mowing & tree trimming looks fantastic. Appreciate less clutter on the grave sites.

I just wanted thank you for cleaning up the C Grove cemetery. I can't tell you how many times I had to clean up my father's area with blown artificial flowers. I believe the Cgrove Cemetery looks 100% better. Thank you again.
