Favorite epitaphs, or interesting tombstone sayings

Georgetown, TX(Zone 8a)

The thread on down home sayings led me to wonder about this subject after several clever ones were posted there. I think it's a subject worthy of its own space. Have you seen some tombstone sayings you feel like sharing with us? Doesn't have to be funny, just interesting.

In an almost buried burial spot, a handmade stone told me this:

You stuck with me through thick and thin,
Sorry to leave, hon, but marry agin.
So some old boy can chop your firewood
While you tell him he's not as good.

I couldn't read it all, there was more! I wondered if this fellow had carved out his own headstone and then exited by his own hand.
