Villas - In response to a spout about memorial benches, I was reminded of an incident I had. I was sitting on one and the family of the person came up and asked if I would move because they wanted a family picture on it. I never sat on one again. Spout Off is becoming my education on death and dying as I am an only child with no children of my own, thus not much experience in the subject. I realize the people left behind mourn in different ways, but why would they want to mourn their loved ones at the very place they took their last breaths at roadsides?
