Dear Mountain View Cemetery,
I've seen you hanging-out across from La Panda for as long as I've been in Colorado. Your big ol' trees are a welcome break from the crappy development that lines Longmont's mostly-ugly Main Street. They're nice. Thanks for growing them!.
Turns out, you also have some really nifty gravestones. Once, when my daughter was going through a fascinated-with-graves phase (she was about 5 or 6 then), she and I took a stroll through your cool shade and read the names and dates of the people interred there. We had a good discussion of life, death and dying. It was nice. Thanks for quenching her curiosity. read more
