In Chicago, Returning To Burr Oak

Torrence Drisdell is 37 years old. His wife, Shawnee, was in a car accident in 2004, suffering fatal personal injury. That is another way of saying she died in a car accident, sadly enouph. Drisdell visited her grave just several weeks before the scandal broke at Burr Oak Cemetery, four months ago. Hope they had good lawyers you know? Four months ago workers were accused of digging up graves and reselling plots. Today, November 19, 2009, Drisdell was one only a few who had shown up for the reopening of the cemetery. The overseer of the cemetery, Roman Szabelski said he is expecting “a few thousand” people today. He expects they will begin to flow in later today.
In an article that appeared today in the online publication, Chicago Breaking News Center, Kim Janssen begins by writing; Handful of relatives show up as Burr Oak is reopened. By the way if you are in need of great Chicago car accident attorneys give this firm a try. All in all, they have some of the leading such car accident attorneys to be found in the windy city.
Jannsen quotes Torrence Drisdell. "I just want to make sure she hasn't been buried on top of anyone or something like that," he says of his wife’s grave.
Janssen notes that Shaun Norwood and his family felt at peace after they found the grave of their mother. Today was the first day they could visit since the cemetery was closed for an investigation into an alleged plan to get rid of bodies in order to resell graves. Good old Chicago, you know what I mean? Makes me want to see 'The Untouchables' again for the nostalgia value.
