A question (and a poll)

What do you think about roadside memorials? We have several around here: there's one in town where a teenager lost her life as a result of a four-wheeler accident, and one not far south of town where a young woman lost her life after being tossed from a motorcycle almost two years ago. I see this type of memorial everywhere, when we travel.

I don't care for them, personally. If you make a roadside memorial, you're doing it on somebody's land. Did you ask them if it was OK to do this? Why can't you just go to the grave and put your sentimental objects there?

I suppose if it helps you through the grieving process, it's a good thing.

Just know that if Cliff and I have a motorcycle accident, and one or both of us die, that we do not want a piled-up mess of flowers and stuffed animals at the site where we died. Figure out some better way to remember us. Please. You know, donate money to a worthy cause in our names. Something that will benefit somebody, instead of polluting the landscape.

But that's just my own humble opinion.

Express your opinion on the poll on the right.
