YEHUDA LAYB son of Reb Meshulam

He passed away 6 Av 5713

May his soul be bound up in the bond of life.

Rachel:

RACHEL daughter of Reb Dov Ber

He passed away 7 Adar 5713

May his soul be bound up in the bond of life.

==================================================
'Reb' is an honorific; it does not mean rabbi.

'Dov Ber' is a double name, with Dov being Hebrew for bear and Ber being Yiddish for bear. Men with this name often -- but certainly not always -- have a secular name similar to Bernard, Barry, etc.
