Death is often looked at as a tragedy to us. It is in fact one of the phases of our lives. Some people live long lives and some not so long. Grave stones say very little about the quality of a person's life. There are exceptions, however. The stones here indicate the tragedy of extreme family loss. These are stones of individuals who died before much of their life could be actualized. They died in infancy.

The stone above is worn so the only remaining information is that the individual was an infant. The name is only "Baby" so possibly the child died before the sad parents could name the child. There must have been grieving because they cared enough to purchase and place a grave stone.
These other two stones are placed together in the same cemetery and have more information, but both represent great sadness in lives that ended before they could begin. Both stones have the names of the child, though you can't see that in this picture. One stone says the child died at 4 days. I don't know them or their families, but it does make me sad for their loss!
