I found today's epitaph etched into a pedestal tombstone of marble, topped with a draped urn located in Snow Springs Cemetery at Snow Spring (Unadilla), Dooly County, Georgia.

Our Mother
In God's own morn her orb will rise,
Once more a star of Paradise.
I found this same line as young man in Heartland ME on an old cemetery headstone on the tote road to a high rock out crop called “Devils Head” overlooking Great Moose lake. I summered on that lake as a child and teen. I remembered it generally, but found it today on this website - ( i had remembered it - from 45 years ago - as “our mother one day her orb shall rise) now I have the detail. Awesome. Thank you
