My thank you for "being here" and being loyal readers of this blog! You are so appreciated!

**Hello everyone**!

Sharing a bit of history here that my original Facebook account was banned back on January 18, 2026. I had learned about it when my account had been hacked by an unknown hacker. Thus, my account was removed and all of my content I ever contributed was removed with it.

I believe it was on March 1, I rejoined Facebook using a simpler version of my name (just first and last name) and I was accepted! However, on March 27, not a full month later, Facebook bans my new account citing its account integrity reasons, nothing more specific than that. I know that they don't allow creating new accounts to circumvent an existing ban. I understood that. If that is the case, I feel Facebook should have taken into consideration that my original Facebook account was hacked which took down my own account that was mine at that time; but not the hackers fake account of me which seemed to remain for awhile afterward! Apparently, Facebook may not see it that way, thus I don't wish to speculate any further than what has thus far transpired that translates to my current status regarding Facebook.

With the above being said, I feel Facebook can be a platform for promoting "all things that are considered good" by the general public and to my mind that should include cemetery preservation, gravestone conservation, promoting the need for better burial documentation, and improving existing laws and rules for the betterment of cemeteries and their gravesites.

I created "Preserving Ohio's Cemeteries" on Facebook on March 27, 2013 starting with 15 members. I left it with over 1,500 members.

Most of all, I wish to share that I feel privileged to have this wonderful Blogger Blog which has its own following of wonderful readers! I appreciate each and every reader. Thus, I will continue sharing via this blog what I learn and what I know that will enable them and their friends to move forward with plans and proposals to improve the condition of their cemeteries of concern; and promote the reasons for respecting cemeteries and the gravesites they contain. That there is importance of working with the community and cemetery owners to solve problems a cemetery might be facing in our Great State of Ohio.

Thus, I'll continue to share stories and links to them that I feel are in the public domain and are of importance to the public's interest. Bringing attention to the public the problems that Ohio cemeteries face that we all should be made aware of.

Unfortunately, I am not able to share posts from this blog to Facebook, but I can share to other platforms and organizations.

This blog has enjoyed a following of like-minded readers who I strive to provide with information that will help with their quest to preserve and protect their cemeteries and gravesites in our Great State of Ohio.

We are ever mindful that cemeteries are sacred spaces that deserve our respect and attention to their ongoing needs; honoring those who came before us.

Thank you!
