Please transcribe and translate the Hebrew inscription on this stone. The deceased is Dora Sclare (née Perrin, died November 2, 1944), wife of Max Sclare. Both stones are at Congregation Shaare Torah Adath Israel Cemetery, Fairfield, Connecticut, and appear to be by the same stonecutter. Translation of this stone may help calibrate the Hebrew letter forms for the companion submission VM[number], where the patronymic on Max's stone is the primary research target.
