A New Twist On An Old Epitaph

Located at Kansas Cemetery in Kansas, OK.

My living friend as you pass by
As you are now so once was I
As I am now you soon will be
So read these lines
And think of me


The old version of this epitaph is varied but the most common version I have seen in my area is this one.
Remember me as you pass by
As you are now, so once was I
As I am now, you soon will be.
Prepare for death, and think of me.

  1. That is my Grandpa's grave. Did not surprise me that he came up with this.
