SignWriting List
July 12, 2006

Dear SW List Members!
I need your help. I do not know how to 
sign the sentence below, which is 
supposed to go on a tombstone...Is there 
someone on the List who could write this 
in SignWriting in American Sign Language 
for us?

Please help me!

How  do we write this in ASL?

 > IN GOD WE TRUST. YOU ARE IN HEAVEN 
NOW. WE RESPECT AND LOVE YOU. YOU WILL 
REST IN PEACE FOREVER.

I am sorry, Stephen, I am not an 
interpreter and I am not sure how to 
sign IN GOD WE TRUST in American Sign 
Language...

recently lost his wife and asked to have 
written sign language on the gravestone. 
He has written the symbols but we are 
having difficulty getting the shapes 
correct. Do have any resources on how 
the written alphabet should look or can 
you point me to a good resource for this?
