8/29/2012 8:21 PM Hello Irv,

The tombstone on the right for Sally Hecker is inscribed as follows: "Here lies the elderly woman of kind/good heart......Sara Gitel Bas/(daugter of) Efraim, who died on the llth day of the Hebrew month of Kislev (and the Hebrew year). May her soul be bound up in the bonds of eternal life."

On the left for Harry Hecker: "Here lies the honest man and good worker, loving husband and dear father, Yechiel Ben/(son of) Reb Chaim Yishachar who died on the 5th day of the Hebrew mont of Elul (and the Hebrew year). May his soul be bound up in the bonds of eternal life."

The word "Reb" preceding the Hebrew name of Harry Hecker's father is merely a title of honor. It does NOT imply rabbi.

Hope that this is helpful to you....Jo
8/29/2012 8:27 PM Here lies a simple man of good deeds, an amiable husband and beloved father.
Yechiel son of Chaim Issachar died 5 Elul 5707

Here lies a courageous and good hearted woman beloved by children and grandchildren?
Sarah Gitel daughter of Ephraim died 11 Kislev 5758

May their souls be bound up in the bond of (everlasting) life.
