Inscription

Special friend Davey
In good times and bad, you were there by my side. Forever I will miss you and the friendship we had. Rest in peace, dear friend, never to be forgotten.

Most of the text is professionally carved but 'Davey' is less skillful. Something about this memorial makes us think that Davey was a pet.
