Thank you for your help translating Hebrew on a headstone, for two sisters.

Cemetery:
Kremenets Jewish Cemetery (modern day Ukraine)

Person #1:
Dvore Hetil Shreyer (bat?)

Date #1:
6 Jun 1920 (20 Sivan 5680)

AND

Person #2:
Rachel (bat ?), sister to Dvore Hetil

Date #2:
19 Aug 1920 (5 Elul 5680)

This headstone is apparently for two sisters (side-by-side) and has been indexted previously by JewishGen.

Existing translation, left side: "Here lies buried / a woman / (a) two sisters / ... the modest"

Existing translation, right side: "Here lies buried / a woman ..."

Looking for possible additional information from headstone (understanding that it is difficult to read - sorry).

An adjacent headstone for a "Chayim ben Avraham" (ViewMate ID: 111590) may be related.
