Gravestones: West Virginia Style

Life is different in the Appalachian Mountains.  From the way the people live to the way they die.  Take for instance this gravestone:

For those who can't read the hand chiseled stone here is the translation.

Mickey
Donald
Mahone

Born 5-5-1945
Died 4-19-2004

Though (sic) I Walk
Threw (sic) The
Valley of Death
I Shall Fear
No Evil Cause
IM The Meanest
Son Of A Bitch
In This
Valley

That kind of says it all about this section of the country.  But hey, Mickey must have had at least one great friend to put that in stone for him.
