The details of last Friday’s dog attack are more clear. An employee of Richardson Monument was installing a stone and a dog approached him , he did the big no, no and tried to be friends, when he reached out the dog , a big dog , bit him at least twice on the arm. Austin is still out of work with the arm still swollen, and it has not been determined if the dog was loose or with a person. The Animal Control Officer responded in ten minutes and I was there shortly after that for a different purpose and neither of us saw the animal. The dog had tags yet from the data base of licensed dogs in the area none fit the description of this large dog , a bit of a mystery!

Hopefully the good weather stays with us so you all can take care of your loved one’s burial area
Any flower can be planted in front of the grave marker , 18 inches in front. None to the side and back . Any flower is allied as long as it doesn’t spread onto another plot and grow taller than the grave marker . No cedar trees please , they look cute when they are small and then they grow taller than the gravestone and spread out on to the neighbors
The Cemetery has the right to remove any plants that are not in compliance
