Katie Robb
"I know its not exactly like a great place to visit or become a long term resident in.... But i will say driving past it always seemed so peaceful and serene. The grounds are so well maintained that I have always been impressed by who ever takes that kind of care and time to keep it up as well as they have. All head stones are cleared of any kind of leaves or anything else that might cover or conceal them."
