Memorial headstones have a beautiful way of highlighting the best parts of the past, or someone's life. Have you ever stopped and taken the time, while walking through a cemetery to read a memorial's inscriptions? If you haven't, there is much inspiration to be drawn from there. We have no way of knowing what might be written on our own memorials someday, but we can strive to live like those words that will be written there.
