Readers Respond to Two Families’ Fight Over Skyline Grave Plot
Last week, WW told the strange story of two families’ fight over one grave at Skyline Memorial Gardens (“Grave Concerns,” Aug. 7). Sons in both families died exactly three years apart. But trouble came when the first man’s mother, Paula Tin Nyo, had her son’s cremated remains placed in a grave already sold to the other family years before. When Tin Nyo refused to give up the grave, the company that owns Skyline sued her in state court. As the court case drags on, Skyline’s attorneys have sought to keep the identity of the second family private. And Tin Nyo’s attorneys believe it’s the Reser family, which runs one of the largest privately owned companies in the state, Reser’s Fine Foods. Here’s what our readers had to say:
