Judge Family descendants- 120 year old Ancestral headstone repairs

Whilst recently travelling in our beautiful country, I've had the pleasure of spending some time in the Invercargill area and have visited the burial site of my Great Great Grandparents, William and Rachel Judge who passed away in June 1899 and December 1911. Unfortunately the Headstone is in disrepair so I decided to ask a local stone mason for his thoughts on what we could possibly do to get it restored.

Ian from Maiden Stone in Invercargill has been out to the site and has given me a quote of $2770.00 for the following work.. Ground foundations stabilized, Level Plinth and Concrete the entire area to 100mm thick and smooth finish. Then removing the headstone, glue and pin the granite together, re-silver the lettering and re-installing onto the plinth.

My name is Sharon Lankshear and I am the great great granddaughter of William and Rachel Judge. My mother was Heather Lankshear ( nee: Costley), My grandmother was Thelma Costley ( nee Smith), My Great Grandmother was Mary Smith ( nee: Judge)... Daughter of Rachel and William Judge.

I'm asking if we can gather a small amount of money from all of the family to repair the headstone so the following generations can have the pleasure of visiting our ancestors as we are able to. If you are able to donate it would be great to know your lineage to Rachel and William.

The inscription on the headstone is:
