Front of the Headstone:
Here lies
Angelina Torregrossa Tortorici
Taken from the world
In the most beautiful days of life [we would probably use the phrase "in the prime of life"]
At only 27 years
The 22nd of November, 1913
The unhappy groom
In memory of her
Ideal beloved [or ideal loving]
Places [basically, places this tombstone in her memory]
Rest in Peace
Side of Headstone:
With your poor little orphans
We will cry forever
Over our misfortune
O gentle flower taken from us
And only at the time
My pain will come to lessen
[will be] When my bones
At your side
Come to rest
