A group in Carson is working to revitalize a cemetery that closed last month after its owner became severely ill: 'This is restoring community at its best and I cheer them.'
Now, residents whose family members are buried in the cemetery are leading a large community cleanup effort.
"We want it to be a beautiful park so that when you come to visit your loved ones, you're at a nice beautiful park that would make you feel good. Right now, it is in really bad shape," she said. Carson Mayor Pro-Tem Jawane Hilton said he helped get the cemetery's water back on in time for the cleanup.
Volunteers like Carl Kemp and his 11-year-old daughter Maya stopped by to remember and honor those resting at the cemetery, from cleaning gravestones to mowing the weeds away.
