I mean how do they know for sure that the grave marker was stolen? We've had bad weather, maybe it was "blown away". Maybe the cemetery removed it for some reason (granted if that were the case they should have notified the family) I just don't get why it's immediately being said it was stolen. Also, the beads?? I do not see this as doing any harm at all! Someone was paying their respects. Maytee needs to get a grip. A serious grip. You can't take every single thing and turn it into an action against you!! What if someone placed a certain color flowers on the grave?? IS she going to turn that into some huge ordeal??? It's just not making sense to me.
If you watched the video you would have seen that the marker is marble, so I'm pretty sure the wind didn't blow it away. And also, in the video is the cemeteries manager speaking about the situation...I would assume he would have mentioned if the marker had been removed by staff.
I agree with you & posted something similiar. I also agree with your last post about the rope with beads. If it were just a rosary, why not describe it as a rosary? Why say "rope with beads" My mothers side of the family is Catholic & no one refers to their rosaries as "rope with beads" lol I'm thinking it may have been something similiar to Mardi Gras beads or those hemp rope bracelets with beads. I think that may have been what you were describing also
