"A weeping oak, with a broken heart we will mourn bitterlyon the grave of our beloved mother a young woman, modest and upright, the married Hannah Levin daughter of Reb Yitzhaq Sifres.  She died 24th Adar 5690.  May her soul be bound in the bond of everlasting life."

Note: very unique to have photograph of deceased on tombstone!

May his soul be bound in the bond of life.
