That code… Possibly the reference for a document/operation/mission. It’s the answer to what did you do or where have you been or something like that. Or something more mundane.

Why does it show 3 comments but there is only 1, and now mine…is something being covered?

26 is N, 23 is L, 24 is O, and I’m pretty sure the code just spells out what’s written below.

The code just spells out what’s below but with numbers. LL in “still” = 2323 for example.
This is fucking rad. She took her secrets to the grave. I love it.

It’s the last four digits of the credit card number from the family member who ordered the tombstone. The order form was very complicated

All you people think you’re sooo smart. “It’s the message below” well, let me tell you what it really is. It’s the 11 herbs and spices of KFC.

Guys, relax. All the code means is “We have videos of you pooping while on your phone”. Project Toilet Cam is real.

From her obituary-
“Suzanne D. Kuser “Sukie” (Age 89)
Died peacefully at her home in Washington, DC on July 13, 2021. She was born on November 24, 1931 in New York City, the daughter of the late Vieva M. Perrin (nee: Fisher) and John Dryden Kuser. She graduated from Foxcroft School (Middleburg, Virginia) in 1949, where she also served for 19 years on the school’s Board of Trustees and Bryn Mawr College (1953). She went to work for the National Security Agency (NSA) as a cryptologic linguist. She moved to the State Department, where she would spend the next 58 years. She studied national security affairs at the National War College in 1977 — one of just seven women in a sea of men — and eventually rose to be head of the U.S. State Department’s Intelligence Reporting Division. After retiring in 1986, she continued as a part-time consultant and a senior reviewer of classified documents at the NSA.”

With NSA on the tombstone, it’s simple fun with cryptography

I’d tell you what that code is, but then I’d have to kill you.
Simple cypher with a twist on starting characters always being single characters:
I = R
S = H
T = 14
I = R
L = 23
L = 23
C = X
A = I
N = 26
N = 26
O = 24
T = 14
T(start of word single character) = G
E = 9
L = 23
L = 23
Y = B
O = 24
U = 12

It’s just a simple replacement code, or actually two as the initial letter in each word, and the single I, are represented differently. You can see that the T in “Still” and “Cannot” is 14, but in “Tell” is represented by G. So initial or solo letters are replaced with a letter, all others are replaced with numbers, and the cipher is partly revealed:
R H14172323 X126262414 G92323 B2412
I STILL CANNOT TELL YOU
I=R
S=H
T=14
I=17
L=23
L=23
C=X
A=1

The code literally translates to “I still cannot tell you.” That’s hilarious.

Not that mysterious.
Possibly someone that was a cryptographer at NSA. I guess that NSA being mentioned in there wasn’t an accident from the engraver.

She’s not deceased, just reassigned.
