Dear Editor:
I hope that the people enjoyed and NEEDED the floral display
that they stole when they butchered the beautiful, old camellia
that was at least 10 feet tall and left St. Stephen’s Episcopal
Church with a three-foot-tall collection of bare branches.

This letter is being written in hopes that some reader was at the party, wedding, or prom; or was a recipient of the flowers and now knows that the floral display was stolen.
Imagine our dismay on Saturday morning when we arrived and found that the plant we had loved for many years was demolished. Don’t bother to return, as it will be many years before anyone gets more flowers from it. It is our hope that it will grow back.
We have a lovely, shady courtyard with tall trees, benches and a playground and have always been happy that the neighborhood felt free to use it as an oasis.
Please recognize that love and support are on a two-way street.
Tom Olcott, senior warden, St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, Gilroy
