Janet Geary: Thieves stole more than an object, they stole her memories

To the person or persons who took the decorative wood on Merced Avenue, it was a project my husband and I shared. He has been gone for two years now. I don’t know what it means to you, but for me it was memories. Maybe you thought you were going to Heaven when you pass, but I pray you go straight to (another place).

Janet Geary, Merced
