WORDS fail me that anybody could inflict the mindless act of damage and vandalism on Dominique Hill’s planted memorial tree (Oxford Mail, February 22).

Given the publicity both locally and via various forms of media, including excellent coverage by the Oxford Mail, why would anybody with half a brain cell think that damaging this special tree is ‘clever’?

Dom’s loyal friends and family have worked tremendously hard and long to support her at this extremely difficult time and should not let the actions of a moronic few tarnish their work or support.

I’m sure that the police will attempt to discover who is responsible for this act, but I would suggest that the problem lies with the individuals concerned and if they can read I would suggest that they come forward of their own volition.

Of course they won’t, but let’s all get behind Dom and her family and dismiss these vandals for what they are – pathetic, cowardly morons.
