    This is the most beautiful cemetery I've ever seen. It has beautiful flowering trees. And the staff is very friendly. Rain or shine the workers are always keeping this place up. It's so nice to drive around the many pathways or walk them for some great exercise! I stop by here just to admire the beauty at least once a week. I've even seen photoshoots here!
