Thanks ETL and Lurkina.n.Learnin.

I've been called away from this place, my task here is done
I leave early but don't be troubled for my soul is always with you
I've left behind a story, one in which [you're] all involved
And now it is your turn to fill up the final pages
My love will always stand like mountains mighty and unmoving
Look for me each night for I will rest underneath the stars
Hear me in the winds as destiny blows us closer
Forevermore

Maybe it was a greeting card company employee.

Slowly it comes to me.....

the stone is contemporary, crafted from stone, soft and easy to work. the face was ground flat and the words carefully scratched into the prepared surface

it in not a tomb stone or grave marker. it is an ashes marker. it marks where the ashes of the departed were scattered into the river
