Final step

Hello all. I am working on the final step of laying my loved one to rest. It hurts my heart as this is the last thing. She passed a year ago but I’m working on completing her headstone. I really didn’t want her to go and I’m clinging to this final step. However, I’m so happy to honor her. So while I’m on this good feeling of honoring her memory, I was hoping to get opinions on her epitaph. She loved to sing “Jesus loves me” so that’s an option. I also like “too much love for this world”. Thoughts?

Why don’t you have both and have ‘Jesus loves you’ at the end.

You could put the other phrase ‘too much love for the world ‘ with her name before and some other relevant information afterwards.
