My mother's grave has been taken from, decorations that once brought our family comfort were stolen, leaving us heartbroken. This is not an isolated incident. In Frankfort, Ohio, the sacred resting place of our loved ones at the Frankfort Cemetery is being disturbed more frequently since the homeless community was relocated from Chillicothe.

While we empathize with the plight of the homeless community, it is distressing to witness the theft and disturbances that have emerged within the cemetery grounds. Our ancestors deserve a peaceful resting place, and we should not have to live with the anxiety of more memories being stolen while we grieve.

The increase in thefts from graves has left many residents distraught, worried about the sanctity of our community's cemetery. Personal items left lovingly on the graves are vanishing, violating the reverence and respect we owe to those who have passed.

It is essential for the local authorities to find a compassionate yet effective solution that offers the homeless community proper shelter while preserving the sanctity of the cemetery. Initiatives could include providing dedicated spaces and resources for the homeless, ensuring they have access to the necessary support and services away from sacred grounds.

We urge local officials and community leaders to act quickly and decisively. By relocating the homeless community to more suitable accommodations, we can secure a peaceful environment for both the living and those we mourn.

Please sign this petition to help restore the tranquility of Frankfort Cemetery and protect the dignity of our loved ones' resting places. Together, we can foster a solution that respects all members of the community.
