A cruel and tasteless joke at Menotomy park halloween last night.

I love the halloween night at Menotomy Park! But last night my enjoyment was tainted by outrage! There is a charming graveyard with tombstones.Well one tombstone turned the word Alheimers and took out the h and turned into a name and said on the tombstone was for the death of his memories!It essentially made fun of families living with this terrible disease like mine. I was so hurt and angry that I turned the gravestone around so that no one could read that tombstone. Later I apologised for the action.But my point is that jokes can be extremely cruel and no one should make fun of peoples suffering. If this person wanted to make a joke about Alheimers how about this one. Here lies the unlamented death of the disease of Alheimers. A cure caused it to forget to survive!Now that is a joke that I would love! I hope this person learns from this mistake and never does it again.
