Tombstone Tuesday: By her Beloved Husband...

The stone reads:

O Lord have mercy
on the soul of Mary
Browne Who Departed
This life July 15th 1881
AGED 23 YEARS
R I P

By her Beloved Husband
James Browne

May Jesus Mary and Joseph...

This stone in memory of Mary Browne stands in the cemetery of Murrisk Abbey in County Mayo.  Although the upper portion of the text looks as though it was carved by the mason, perhaps her husband, the last line on this stone, part of which is no longer visible, looks as though it was added as a personal message.  Presumably it says May Jesus, Mary, and Joseph have mercy on her soul, but it is lost to time.
