Epic Epitaph

[My Good Babushka]

Epitaph of John Laird McCafferty (1940-1995) in Montreal’s Mt. Royal Cemetery:
(Read the first letter of each line. Composed by his wife and mistress.)

John,

Free Your Body and Soul
Unfold Your Powerful Wings
Climb Up the Highest Mountain
Kick Your Feet Up in the Air
You May Now Live Forever
Or Return to This Earth
Unless You Feel Good Where You Are

1. The most memorable epitaph I ever saw was in Newport, Rhode Island

It was on a tombstone that looked like it dated from the 18th century:

To those of you who pass me by
Remember you are born to die
As I am now, so must you be
Prepared in death to follow me.

[Tobin S.]

3. It seems like a lot of people live as if they don't know that.

To quote Modest Mouse, "You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste the afterlife?" (not meaning you Art)

[Tobin S.]

2. It looks like a message that would have been better conveyed to him when he was alive.

Unless people weren't aware of the situation until after his death.

4. The hidden msg made me wonder if there was also a msg in "Missed By Your Friends"

My search turned up an mbyf reference in gaming...

5. Boot Hill in Tombstone is a tourist attraction

with several humorous epitaphs. (incidently, the daily paper is called the Tombstone Epitaph)
One I remember:
"Les Moore
Four slugs from a 44
No less, no more"
