Her equal is gone before her but her superior will never follow as a WIFE MOTHER and FRIEND.

—

My flesh shall slumber in the ground,
Till the last trumpet’s joyful sound,
Then burst the chains with sweet surprise
And in my SAVIOURS image rise.

This epitaph is the last stanza of Isaac Watts’ metrical version of Psalm 17.
