Just looked at the photos of the York Church graveyard Bruce posted on Facebook and the damage the flood has caused. Our parents, grandparents and great grandparents are all buried there and someday in the distant future we will join them. We have put a donation in the mail to help with the clean up and I urge those who are unable to physically to help to do the same. It doesn't have to be a huge amount... let's just show we care.
