WOW! Griswold is so smart to know how long a family grieves is just two short weeks! How about using all the wasted monies from our taxes to have a tastefull marker that the family can personalize. Of course this should but won't happen. I bet alot of families would pay the cost but really should they have to after all aren't we the same city that as useless bus stops that don't even shelter from the elements properly? Please a small 8x10 marker red 9 to remind as to think before we act family could put a memorial of ther loved one ect as well please think about it!

[Have some compassion]

I think the city has much more important issues to focus on,than a little roadside memorial.I personaly am disgusted by society's selfeshness.I'm sure when tragedy strikes closer to home,their views would change.Day by day it is becoming very difficult to have any faith in our so called "system".Why is it that when the first native to die in the war,they give her an entire mountain.What about everyone else who gave their life for this country!!!!!?
