A day from hell

Editor: Our family read the horror story about the Goslin family burial plight. ("Unidentified body in plot," Bulletin cover story, Oct. 18)

We too had an experience never to be forgotten. We had purchased three plots at the Schara Tzedeck cemetery decades before my husband died in April 2000. We used to drive by the cemetery joking about our "real estate." One day, as we visited the cemetery, we discovered the laugh was on us, for two of the three plots we owned were occupied by no one we knew. This was a day from hell.

I shall not go into detail regarding the cemetery board. Thankfully, they have a most compassionate, gentle soul in Rev. Marciano.

Our plots were eventually relocated just under the Sky Train – a charming area.
Mr. Goslin, I admire your tenacity and am grateful that your family will persevere. My condolences to the Goslin family.
