Hello Marcia & David,

Here is some information for you, although some of it does make sense to me. (See bottom explanation **)....

Hebrew -Top right: M(rs.) Reizel, daughter of Pesel, of blessed memory.
Date in Hebrew: 20th day of the Hebrew month of Cheshvan, (followed by the Hebrew year.)

Hungarian:
Mrs. Gyula Hirsch
(born as/maiden name) Roza Frisch
1869 - 1938

In an unknown place these people died:
My father, Hirsch Gyula
My sisters, Bozsi and Olga
My brother-in-law, Jozsef Steinberger
Here I guard their memory...Imre
Our unforgettable Terez's memory, who died in Chicago, we guard here also.

Hebrew at lower left:
**Rizel/Raisel is Terez's Hebrew name. Not sure about her parent's name, which appears to be Reitzel.
This name does not make sense to me, as children are not customarily named after a living person. The name Reitzel is too close to the name of the daughter, so perhaps it is a mistake. Or??

At least there is some information with which you can work.....Jo

I can comment only on the Hebrew

==============================================
At the top right:

Mrs. RAYTSEL (or RYTSEL) daughter of Pesel, may she rest in peace.

Her soul departed 20 Cheshvan 5699. May her soul be bound up in the bond of life.
---------------------------------------------
To the best of my knowledge, Pesel is a woman's name. Usually, the father's name appears on gravestones, and not the mother's. (I have seen Hungarian stones that mention the mother's name at the bottom, and the father's name appears in the main section.)
The 20th of Cheshvan, 5699, corresponds to November 13/14, 1938.
=============================================
At the bottom left:
RAYZEL daughter of Raytsel/Rytsel.
This is apparently a daughter of the person above.

Note that the names Raytsel and Rayzel are not necessarily the same name.
