Please SHARE and read this post to aid the fund! If youve heard about the 67 stones vandalized at Whitmans Colebrook Cemetery, Im sure you are as shocked and saddened as I am. Many stones are those of Veterans. Some date back to the 1800s. These old ones will have to be replaced, the original lost forever. This hits home for me. I have family members here, and one of our stones has been damaged. While my family will make the needed repairs, some families may not have the means to do so. In order to assist those deceased persons whose families will not be able to do so, or may never know of the damage, an official restoration fund has been established! No donation is too small, and ALL are appreciated regardless of the dollar amount. Deliver in person your cash or check donation, or mail, checks payable to: The Colebrook Cemetery Restoration Project C/O Mutual Bank 570 Washington St Whitman, MA 02382 In-person donations are also being accepted by: Sam Mavilia at Route 18 Auto Body 325 Washington St Abington, MA 02351 See the report here: myfoxboston/story/27757354/67-gravestones-knocked-over-damaged-at-whitman-cemetery
