<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Memorial Day is right around the corner and we are cleaning up and will have more clean up to do in our cemeteries. Some of you may be aware that a Gresham cemetery was in the news about their clean up efforts. We thought it would be helpful
to pass on some simple things to keep in mind when cleaning up and when talking to the public.<o:p></o:p></p>
