Epitaphs

Epitaphs

María Ballesteros
Due to her mother's death, Adriana returns to her hometown. Last summer, the family talked about epitaphs with the impunity of not having a dead body in the room. With their mother, lying dead in the next room, the situation is completely different: Do we or we do not have an epitaph carved on Mom's grave?, What did Mom said exactly?, did she or did she not wanted an epitaph? In conclusion: How would you summarize someone's life in a single line?
