Sorry for your loss,,, Here is an epitaph from a heroic newfies grave...
Near this spot
Are deposited the Remains of One
Who possessed Beauty without Vanity.
Strength without Insolence,
Courage without Ferocity,
And all the Virtues of Man without his Vices.
Boatswain, Born May 1803, & died at Newstead Newfoundland, November 18, 1808
