Memorial bench has a nice message, but definitely needed a better editor

While I too want to be remembered as someone who smiled at all dogs, I also want proper sentence structure.

Wait.

She never saw dogs and she never smiled? Surely, they really mean something along the lines of, "she never saw a dog without smiling," right? Or maybe they were celebrating that she never smiled and managed to live a life free of canines?

The internet, however, was quick to show their support. One Nicole Campbell, in the flesh, even confirmed the situation.

Thank you, Christina.

I'm glad Nicole Campbell really was able to smile and love dogs, and that she has a memorial, intentional or not, that no one will forget.
