8/6/2012 12:59 PM	Hello Jean, The tranlation of the stone for Marcella Arline Cram is as follows: "Here lies dear daughter Matla Alta Bas/(daughter of) Reb Yitzchak Mordechai, who died on the 22nd day of the Hebrew month of Tevez and Hebrew year. May her soul be bound up in the bonds of everlasting life." Just a notation for your information...The word "Reb" preceeding the name of her father is used as an honorific title of respect. It does NOT imply rabbi. Hope that this is helpful....Jo
