Write your own epitaph

As I was writing up a story for the site on Beatles Rockband, I was reminded of my favorite lyric, and how I always it's what I wanted on my gravestone:

"And, in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make."

Maybe you've never thought about it, but maybe you have, but let us know in comments. Not especially looking for joke entries or a caption contest, but honest contributions for what you might like to have as your epitaph.

Then maybe, if something ... unexpected... happens to you, we'll make sure your next of kin chisel your request on your headstone.

I always like a lyric from a Megadeth song...

"Beware my friends, as you pass by. As you are now, so once was I As I am now, so you must be. Prepare my friends to follow me ..."

Kinda long, but almost guaranteed to make anyone reading it on a gravestone to be a little creeped out.

Either that or just put

I think I'll go with my favorite high school year book quote.

"Have a great Summer. See you next year."

I believe this is a Tom Petty lyric, I've always found it to be an interesting sentence. I think it would fit my life:

"People come and people go. Some grow young and some grow cold"
