When I found that your grave was unmarked I was deeply saddened. What ever your lot was in life, you deserve better. So, I purchased a headstone for you. The inscription at the bottom will read.."Gone but not forgotten"
- Jerry Fair

I am bound to them, though I cannot see their eyes or hear their voices. I honor their history. I cherish their lives. I will tell their story. I will remember them.
Author unknown.

Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in thy grave so low;
Thou no more wilt join our number,
Thou no more our sorrows know.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life has fled;
And in Heaven with joy to greet thee
Where no farewell tears are shed.
