For all the flef(s)h is as graf(s)s, and all the glory of man, as the flower of graf(s)s. The graf(s)s withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away; But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. 1 peter 1 ch. & 24 v.

Stone Type
slate
Tympanum
face with ornamentation
Border
Four line border on tympanum. First beveled edge of stone is followed by thick border formed to line 2. Line 2 to 3 set aside a space for a bi-radial design medium thickness line to the stone's shoulders. Line 3 and 4 form a very thin line that emphasizes the space above it. Both the marked line and the lower emphasis is interrupted by the flame at the top center. There is a barrier space between the tympanum and the tablet area. This is formed by a straight line under the face/wing. This smoothed area defines and connects the tympanum space with the tablet and continues down the stone as a clean border around the tablet's length. The tablet's shape represents a slightly smaller rendition of the whole stone. It has a three line border that is gabled at the top. Space 1 is a beautifully detailed textured surface of medium thickness that appears to use 3 or 4 lines of markings. Space 2 is thinner and reinforces the tablet conceptual space. There is also a braided rope border on the tablet between the opening historical component and the lower poem.
