Statue support

To the editor:

To all the people in Lawrence who called and sent cards when the chocolate Lab dog statue was stolen from Oak Hill Cemetery: I appreciate your concern and sorrow for the dog stolen from my husband’s gravesite. Many people were concerned. I heard from people in Colorado and some people visiting in Italy.

To the low-life thieves: No one in Lawrence had a kind word for you nor did anyone think it was a funny joke. I hope you learned stolen items are hard to enjoy and very hard to display. Enjoy wearing the red dog collar you kept. It will look good on you, as it is made for animals.

Thanks, citizens of Lawrence, for your support.

Vera Hadl,

Lawrence
