Emerson Hughes News Today : Breaking News, Live Updates & Top Stories | Vimarsana

BY BILL LOHMANN Richmond Times-Dispatch Among the Skippy, Tippy and Taffy Tu-Tus at Pet Memorial Park, a cemetery for pets in western Henrico County, is a Frances — Frances Carroll Lee Smith. Her marker is a plain one, bearing only the words “IN MEMORY OF” and her name. No dates of birth or death. No other hints that this is not the final resting place of a beloved pet with a fancy name but, in fact, a woman. I wrote about the cemetery in February, which has a history that dates to the 1930s — the area was very much rural at the time, but is now smack in the middle of suburbia — and is under relatively new ownership. I noted in that piece that dogs and cats are the primary residents of the cemetery, but also buried there are ducks, rabbits, a goat named Bo-Bo and Lady Wonder, a horse that allegedly could do arithmetic.
