'Her price is far above rubies...' - a photo on Flickriver

            I was rather touched by this inscription on the reverse of a gravestone in the parish churchyard of Fordwich in Kent (which, incidentally, claims to be the smallest town in England – population 381).

The gravestone marks the resting places of Margot Van Loo (1912-92), to whom the inscription refers; her husband Gerald Van Loo (1914-2006, Major, Indian Army); and their son John Van Loo (1947-2013, ‘He was a most lovely man’).
