Nice to see the cemetery and bronze company step forward and do this for the family. There still are companies with a heart and a conscience!

Nice to see the community coming together. With all the horrible things going on these past few weeks, it's nice to read something good.

Very nice gesture by those people after the act against God committed by desecrating that grave.
The perpetrator needs a good public flogging instead of wasting taxpayer money as a guest in jail.

No matter how deplorable and evil the act may be, there will always be good of a greater strength to combat it. Each of us must step up whenever the opportunity arises and contribute a little of our own belief system to add to that strength. Good will overcome.

They need to make that little wothless PUKE work this off and pay for it. Then when he is done, Smash his worthless head in with the hammer he used to do this damage. An eye for an eye.

A story like this tugs at your heartstrings. It is good to know that in times like this there are special people out there who really care.

Hey Dispatch, it says in the headline AND in the story that the gravestone marker is for Donna M., whereas in the picture it clearly says that the person for whom the gravestone was made was Connie M. Just thought you might want to adjust that...

Well the guy is obviously unstable. Good thing she trusted her intuition and said no to the freak. Can you imagine what would have happened if she went out with him and decided to end it???

Just when we think this old world is so evil, of all bad people then people pull together and make it o.k.
Its a shame that boy had the nerve to even think to harm a grave rite is so wrong, and I hope he goes to jail for a long time. God bless the family

They say that on any given day - every 3rd person you walk by is clinically unstable so this doesn't surprise me at all! NOW - once the old marker is replaced lets take the old one and knock his head off his shoulders with it!! This whole idea of trying to understand people and their actions is ridiculous - start using people as examples and you'll start to see a decrease in such nonsense!

Locke's action was both, despicable and deplorable.

He needs a dose of reality. I hope that the justice system comes down hard on him for this.

This should not be tolerated. As one mentioned, an eye for an eye. I'm sure he and his family would be just as devastated if someone desecrated the graves of his loved ones. Two wrongs don't make a right. I hope that he learns a valuable lesson from this.

Daily Horoscope for June 2

Aries

It won't be long before you start to feel bored today, unless you can distract yourself - you're switching from one activity to another. Ideally, you should keep yourself amused by doing something that's unusual or challenging, otherwise you'll be tempted to stir up trouble just to see what happens next! Even though you know that's a bad idea, you won't be able to resist, unless you've got something better to do with your time.
