Please try to spare a few moments to make an entry in the guest
book, and give your comments on the condition of the old graveyard
at Rowland's, as I believe that the more entries that are made
regarding this matter can help me to make it known to the church
council that there are many of us who would dearly like to be able
to visit the resting places of our relatives.
Thank you so much.
