West View Cemetery

My Grandparents on My Mother's side are "LAID TO REST" here at The "WEST VIEW CEMETERY". SEVERAL Aunts, Uncles & Cousins are ALSO "RESTING IN PEACE" here. I REMEMBER on BEAUTIFULLY SUNNY Sunday Afternoons that My Mom & Dad would bring Water Jugs, Clean Dirt & Fresh Smelling Flowers to the GRAVE SITES to get rid of the Dead (NO PUN INTENDED) Flowers & Weeds that had GROWN Around their GRAVE MARKERS. "WEST VIEW CEMETERY" has a DEDICATED GROUP OF WORKERS Who would take care of the MASSIVE LANDSCAPE & the Many GRAVES that Dotted the CEMETERY'S GROUNDS. My Mom & Dad tho WANTED to TAKE CARE of the "GRAVE SITES" their way. The SWEET SMELL of FRESHLY MOWED GRASS & the Quiet Sound of tree branches rustling in the BREEZE was APPRECIATED while we were SPRUCING UP My FAMILIES GRAVE SITES. UNFORTUNATELY, I've LOST MORE Family Members than I'd CARE TO THINK about. But You COULDN'T PICK A MORE BEAUTIFUL "RESTING PLACE" than "WEST VIEW CEMETERY".

I grow up there. My grandad worked there

great spot for a picnic! lovely patches of grass to sit on (away from the headstones, of course) and overall a nice quiet spot to relax

Do not go here if you want to stop briefly for Pokemon Go. The groundskeeper very rudely chased a small group of us out while HOLDING A GUN behind his back. That's right, A GUN.

We were not being rude or disrespectful. We were simply gathering for something in the game and didn't plan to be there more than 5 minutes.

There is no signage to indicate it's a private cemetery. None whatsoever.

I am glad my life will never be so meaningless as to intimidate 4 harmless nerds playing a game with a gun.
