Latin to English, please.
« on: Friday 23 May 25 22:14 BST (UK) »
On the attached clip, I think I know what both the Latin phrases mean, but I would welcome thoughts from those whose Latin is better than either my schoolboy level, or Google translate  ;D

Copilot came up with this for the main phrase:

Eternal remembrance and peaceful rest. To my beloved wife Billa. From her most sorrowful husband, IO BILL, who dedicated this in grief.

Should it be:
Eternal remembrance and peaceful rest. To my beloved wife, Ann Bill. From her most sorrowful husband, JOHN BILL, who dedicated this in grief.

Sorry, no knowledge of Latin...

Copilot translates the other phrase as:
She passed away at the age of thirty-three
