One
of a kind.
Buddy Rich
(Westwood Memorial Park; Westwood, California)
The Cowboy's Prayer
Oh Lord, I reckon I'm not much just by myself.
I fail to do a lot of things I ought to do.
But Lord, when trails are steep and passes high,
Help me to ride it straight the whole way through.
And when in the falling dusk I get the final call,
I do not care how many flowers they send--
Above all else the happiest trail would be
For You to say to me, "Let's ride, My friend."
Amen
Roy Rogers
(Sunset Hills Memorial Park, Apple Valley, California) |

Beloved King of Comedy
Mack Sennett
(Holy Cross Cemetery; Culver City, California)
Good friend for Jesus sake forbeare,
To digg the dust encloased heare!
Blest be the man that spares thes stones,
And curst be he that moves my bones.
William Shakespeare
(Holy Trinity Church; Stratford-on-Avon, England)
In loving memory from the Family
Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel
(Hollywood Memorial Park; Hollywood, California)
And alien tears will fill for him
Pity's long-broken urn,
For his mourners will be outcast men,
And outcasts always mourn.
Oscar Wilde
(Pere Lachais; Paris, France)
Thank
you for all the love you gave me.
There could be no one stronger.
Thank you for the many beautiful songs.
They will live long and longer.
Hank Williams
(Oakwood Cemetery; Montgomery, Alabama)
Against you I will fling myself,
unvanquished and unyielding, O Death!
Virginia Woolf
(Monk's House, Rodmell, Sussex, England)
