Stained tombstones

Fellow McCookites,

Have you been out to the cemeteries lately?

If not, you're in for a shock!

Most of our loved ones' tomb stones have turned white. Some you can hardly read the names.

They tell me it is the lime in the water -- why is it just now showing up? What was done before to prevent this?

I don't believe this is the perpetual care that we agreed on.

If anyone out there has a solution, please notify the City of McCook or the cemetery board.

You have to be careful what you use on the stones, or you will damage the finish.

Gwen Haller,
