Always sad to see broken stones. One of our cemeteries has a fence with so many stones piled up we cannot count them, and there is no way to read the inscriptions either.
Oh I agree Carol, it is sad. This is one of my more favorite cemeteries. I went back on the 6th and there have been major changes for the good.
