Dear editor:
From one grieving mom to another:
I understand there have been rumblings about your son’s roadside memorial.
I get the safety issues, yours and theirs, and I get the inconvenience for some when the traffic slows, but as a mom who has also lost a child in a horrific accident, I have another reason for you to move your son’s memorial — perhaps to the cemetery?
I too have a roadside cross for my daughter, which is a two-and-a-half hour drive away, so I only tend to her site on the anniversary of that unimaginable day. Which leads me to my reason for you moving, and that is for the possible “unintentional consequence” of banning roadside memorials if you don’t.
Please, you don’t need me to tell you how important these sacred places are.
God bless, Wendy Zeer
