Starla Andreas is heartbroken knowing that vandals defaced her mother-in-law’s grave, along with 46 others. “I think the community is just crying. Why? Why would this senseless act take place? Why would you do this to people that you don’t even know the families,” Andreas asked. Andreas has lived in the rural town of Windom for several years and said that members of the community plan to help clean up the mess left at the cemetery. “I will be out there because not only was my mother’s headstone, but we have friends here in this community and their family members,” Andreas said. “And we don’t want them to suffer no more than we are. But we all are.” McPherson County Sheriff Jerry Montagne said that more than $90,000 in damage has been done here at the cemetery. “Think of your mother, your father, or grandparents, somebody that you love to, you know, that’s the last resting place, you know, the thought of it just puts chills down my spine,” Montagne said. The McPherson County Sheriff’s office continues to investigate and still isn’t sure who may have done it.
