My thoughts also. Surely someone cared.
Just to say. Often in view of imminent demise, the tombstone was ordered and paid for prior to that point by the one dying.
A young lady in Virginia worked and paid for her mother's and her own funerary monuments somewhat before her demise. (In the 1800s.)

I found a cemetery marker from the early 1800s in Connecticut once where the man was actually from Rhode Island. He insisted on being buried in Connecticut (so his tombstone recited) because of his anger over Rhode Island repudiating its war debt.

A sad epitaph for a lonely heart.
It's in the DNA of every human being, to want to be remembered for "something".
Hopefully, one can leave a beautiful smile and a word of grace and kindness for another human
being, before closing their eyes for the last time.
Smiles and kind words are a lasting epitaph.
Don't wait to post them on a stone, where only a few will see them.
Share your epitaph every day.

This is a sad marker, but I found it interesting to read comments by others and see that he made his mark
