"My trust is in the tender mercy of God. Forever and ever."

"Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord."

" They do rest from their labour and their works do follow them."

" In peace let me resign my breath. And thy salvation see, My sins deserve eternal death, But Jesus died for me."

These epitaphs have strong meaning for their loved ones who have passed. They are written beautifully, and with love, no matter the length of them. I enjoyed looking at all of the epitaphs and the difference in each one.
