Are there and personal phrases she used, any term of reference "nickname" something that only means something to you and your family, that when you go and visit her grave you can read it and remember the good stuff...

Ihad to think up the message on my dads stone and put "nothing gold can stay" it is from a poem....Dad helped me a lot with my studies at school and this poem reminded me of that time and of him.

Sorry you have lost your mum and hope you can find the words you are looking for XXX
