On Sept. 16, I went to cover the story, as well as to help in the Shark Cove Cemetery tidy up.
Strolling into the burial ground and seeing somebody whipper cut the grave of a child prompted my first tears.

Tombstones were broken, disposed of, and some you couldn't read, having blurred away throughout the years.
Putting down my camera and my shades, I began to force weeds from a solitary grave. The weeds were up to my abdomen. With each pull, I told Elizabeth, "No stresses, we will get you some sun."
Elizabeth is the name found on the gravestone, her grave encompassed by a railing. Somebody, eventually, required some serious energy to put it there – to safeguard her spot.
Her spot, and numerous others, were totally covered in weeds. The area is very unattractive. You can't cut the grass there. You can scarcely make it between shrubberies to the following stone.
