The correct phrase, dear boy, is "in pace requiscat." When latin phrases are inverted as you have done in order to correspond to the english word order, then the result doesn't mean anything.

Thank you for your kind and helpful comment. The phrase, Resquiscat in Pace, is frequently abbreviated R.I.P.

If you had not posted annonymously, I might have taken it upon myself to see that your headstone was inscribed, I.P.R.

R.I.P. -- it's not just a school near Albany.
