    Deposited here are the remains of Stonewall,
    who captured my heart, tried my patience, strengthened my faith,
    conquered my will, and blessed me with a gift I did not deserve,
    but could not refuse:
    For those times when I failed her,
    when my flawed human nature did her injustice,
    I ask for God's grace to forgive myself.
    May I strive to lead a life worthy of her unyielding devotion.
