Two Farmington mothers are devastated after a cemetery removed the decorations they left at their children’s gravesites without telling them.
Every day, Jackie Reed visits her son Jordan’s grave at Memory Gardens Cemetery in Farmington.
He was just two months old when he died.
“It brings me comfort,” said Reed, when asked why she comes so often.
On Friday she was horrified to find employees had removed all of her decorations.
“All the healing that I went through all year...just got taken away,” she said.
Karlene Heath’s daughter, Alixus, is buried next to Jordan.
“All of her stuff...it was gone. They threw it in the trash. They threw it all in the trash,” she said.
KOB Eyewitness News 4 spoke with an employee from the cemetery who said their clean-up policy is clearly listed at both entrances.
