Roadside Memorials

We've all seen the roadside memorials to those who died along Illinois highways and roads. Many are impromptu, homemade, temporary and soon weathered. Others are sturdier and last longer.

Illinois even has some rules now - laws - that allow these. Opinions vary on whether they are a good idea. What happens as they disintegrate? When the family stops caring for them, who goes and pulls them out?

I saw this one today. The deceased had many fans. They are in mourning.
