Ok, if you want serious ---- I plan to have a picture of Walt and me etched on the front of our stone so that generations to come will know what we looked like. I do our genealogy and can't tell you how many times I've wished that I could have seen what a certain ancestor really looked like. That's my gift to our posterity. Other than that, probably just names and dates.

But you made it sound as if there was something wrong with not facing the situation with absolute seriousness, and that is what I took exception to.

Two years ago I bought a double gravestone, had it inscribed and placed.
Is that serious enough for you?

I can imagine what it might be...but I won't be writing it...so.... 
I hope it's something along the lines of:
Loved God
Loved her family
Was a Christian
...that would be enough to make me happy.

Someone posted the "I Told You I Was Sick" one....
The lady I work with, she actually put that on her mom's tombstone. There was a long story behind it...but the words were fitting.
