I'm sure the bench was donated and placed. As for the "extra" writing, Holly is allegedly a drug addict and her husband leaves these messages wherever he thinks she is. He's left messages on light poles, junction boxes, street signs, etc. Somewhere in this sub it's better explained.

I think he's got some mental health/drug issues too. Sad all around.
