Dear Lark/Morrison/Wayside Community, Friends, and Former Members of the United Methodist Church in Lark,
Emanuel's Cemetery, a cherished resting place for our loved ones, holds within its grounds the memories and legacies of generations past. As members of the Lark Cemetery Association, we're reaching out to you, our community, for your support in preserving and honoring this sacred space.
We're embarking on two crucial projects aimed at ensuring the dignity and accessibility of Emanuel's Cemetery for years to come.
1. ๐๐ซ๐๐ฏ๐๐ฅ ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ฏ๐๐ฐ๐๐ฒ ๐๐๐๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ก: Over time, the gravel driveway that winds through the cemetery has worn down, making it challenging for visitors, especially during inclement weather. By adding more gravel, we aim to improve access for all who wish to pay their respects to their dearly departed.
2. ๐๐ซ๐๐ฏ๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ค๐๐ซ ๐๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ๐๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ : Many of the grave markers in Emanuel's Cemetery have begun to lean, risking damage and loss of the cherished inscriptions that commemorate our loved ones. With your help, we can ensure that these markers stand tall and proud, preserving the memory of those who rest beneath them.
Your generous donations will directly contribute to these vital projects, safeguarding the tranquility and sanctity of Emanuel's Cemetery for generations to come. No donation is too small, as every contribution makes a meaningful impact on our efforts.
To donate, contact us at [email protected]. Your support is deeply appreciated and will be acknowledged with gratitude in the preservation of this beloved community landmark.
Together, let's honor the past, celebrate the present, and secure the future of Emanuel's Cemetery.
With heartfelt thanks,
Lark Cemetery Association
