Cypress Hills Cemetery is where my parents, grandparents and other family members are buried.

My sympathies, prayers and heart go out to all Asian-Americans affected by this terrible desecration.

Three teenagers spray-painted anti-Asian slurs and other derogatory words on dozens of headstones in the Cypress Hills Cemetery in Brooklyn early Tuesday morning, police said Wednesday.

The three males, believed to be 16 to 19 years old, knocked over and spray-painted more than 40 headstones after entering the cemetery at 833 Jamaica Ave. just after midnight, according to police.

They also damaged 15 vaults inside the Memorial Abbey mausoleum, police said.

It was not immediately clear what derogatory words were written on the headstones, but police said there were some anti-Asian slurs.

The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating the incident.

Video surveillance of the teens was released on Wednesday.

The Finished Photo Collage. 90% Stephen and 10% Sister DeBorah!! Hooray for Stephen!!

Given the opportunity people with Autism can express their Creativity in unique ways. Some like Stephen’s friends and fellow consumers in the AABR Choir have magnificent voices the bring happiness and joy to those who hear them sing.

Stephen enjoys Art and even though the Art program at AABR has been eliminated due to budget cuts I will continue to bring art into Stephen’s life by taking him to various New York City Museums (Our Favorite is the Brooklyn Museum) and purchasing art supplies for him so we can do our artist thing when Stephen comes to visit me.

Proverbs 29:18

King James Version (KJV)

¹⁸Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

Bible Scripture Verse the Lord gave me way back in the mid-1980s concerning my writing.

Habakkuk 2:2-3

King James Version (KJV)

²And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

³For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
