*The inscription mentions something about a "falca" -- which appears to mean a scythe or sickle. Any help with translation gratefully received...

Love is where you find it, the heart cares not of birth or origins. It must of been an interesting relationship much like the brides our servicemen find in many lands. I worked with a woman once who being brought back to the United States not knowing English sat for hours holding her baby trying to figure out the language from watching Sesame Street on the TV. It is good to know people tried to make things work back then as they do now.
