“Cemeteries are a good place to rest. Heave a sigh, sit down. In spite of all the pain and suffering, there is a lot of accumulated wisdom here. This can be a place to find answers. The past is under my feet, the future is above my head, and for this short time, I exist entirely in this moment and know peace. This helps me understand my end. It also helps us understand why it is SO vital to engage in cemetery preservation.” - Kelly Madden, Deschutes Land Trust
