Need ASL sentence for a tombstone

[Valerie Sutton]

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!

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...

Val ;-)
