loved wife, mother and grand-mother.

The final piece is a verse that appears in older church song books from central Germany: "O, wer weiß, in welcher stunde uns die letzte stimme weckt; denn Gott hats mit seinem munde keinem menschen noch entdeckt: wer sein haus nun wohl bestellt, geht mit freuden aus der welt; da die sicherheit hingegen ewigs sterben kann erregen.". Hard to translate, and I haven't found a reference to those numbers.
(Annweiler could be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annweiler_am_Trifels which seems to have belonged to Bavaria from 1816 to 1918)
