word problem - The Comforting Death Message


Linda sadly passes away in a stampede of elephants and when she reaches St. Peter, she is distressed because she doesn't think she'll be buried properly on the family grave plot and having to listen to her mother complain about her not being buried beside her will make even eternal paradise unenjoyable. However, on explaining her distress to St. Peter he smiles knowingly and hands her a card which he says is from Linda's husband back on the ground (no, he doesn't explain how, put your hand down)


The card has 6 words on it, Linda reads it and smiles and enters Heaven assured that her husband will ensure she is buried properly.


There are 3 words on the top line and 3 words underneath but there are only 5 unique words. The words are 'taking', 'take', 'to', 'your' and 'I'. What does the card say and therefore what is the message?



Hint



The repeated word is take.



Hint 2:



The words are layed out as follows:
____________
____________
and the layout of the words are integral to the solution being correct




As usual please place your answers in spoiler tags.


As a side note, I'm not in any way religious (total atheist), however I needed a setting involving a dead person receiving a message from a living loved one, so this sprang to mind. It was not my intention to mock any religious beliefs/values/ideals/concepts held by anyone.



Answer



I've seen a variation of this before:



Take to Taking
I see Your

Which reads as "I undertake to oversee your undertaking". You don't allow the word "see" but I assume it's a variation of that....?
