Help deciphering gravestone inscription
« on: Sunday 17 April 11 18:29 BST (UK) »
Not sure if this belongs here, or on the gravestone board.

Can you please help with the inscription at the bottom of my ggg Grands' stone. Just received the photo via email. I do have a larger copy.

Many thanks,
Kate  :)

In death's cold arms lies sleeping here
A tender parent, a companion dear.
In love he lived, in peace he died.
His life was asked, but God denied.
