An acrostic poem spelling the name of the deceased Haya [Chaya]
daughter of ?
Here lies, pity for this loss, weeping and mourning for her,
a decent woman went to her everlasting place, was very active
righteous and honest, her soul is alive, there is a payment for
her actions…..in the treasures of the heavens……..
[the remainder is below ground ]
