Roman, Thank you for the meaning of the words TU SPOCZYWA. Looking at the picture again, I now see that the "second O or D" is really a "C" I just scanned the picture of the headstone with the letters TUSPOCZYWAJAZS?? Zooming in the picture will bring the letters in focus pretty clear. Where do I post the image?
