[Hebrew translation] Po nikbar Rav Mordechai ben Yosef Niftar vav Adar 5709 lamed Tehei nafsho tzrurah b’tzror hachayim Here lies Mr. Mordechai son of Yosef Passed away on the 6th of Adar 5709 May his soul be bound in the bond of life.

Sarah’s Hebrew inscription identifies her father simply as "Mr. Avraham" without the traditional "son of" to indicate her father’s Jewish lineage. This was because converts are traditionally described as being the “child of Avraham Avinu” (Abraham our patriarch) the first monotheist and the spiritual “father” of all who join the Jewish people, rather than the biological paternal ancestry. | Edmonton Federation of Synagogues Cemetery Row Y24.
