REMEMBRANCE

By Joanne & Kris Kaufmann

Thirteen years. It was a lifetime. Yet it went by so quickly. Your triumphant, sassy spirit was infectious. And with it, you conquered your world. And me. And daddy. And all who entered your orbit. You had the world wrapped around your paw. That spirit that crashed into our home on a cold, snowy Sunday in March 2008 is still here…I feel it. You’re here…everywhere…I feel you. I try to keep your spirit alive by living the way you did. I leap out of bed and shout (in my head), “Get up! There are things to do, places to go, people to see! Let’s get going!” Some days this is easier than others. How you did this every day, I’ll never know. What I do know is that you were loved beyond measure. And that we will honor your memory the best way we know how…by rescuing another dog. We will love your forever, Gidget.

15th Year Anniversary

There is a special place in the southern suburbs of Pittsburgh that is open, cozy, and tranquil respite from the bustle of the surrounding community. Affording beatific vistas of rolling hills and wooden glens that wrap around friendly nearby neighborhoods. Jefferson Memorial Cemetery has provided a a peaceful resting place since 1929 when it was founded by Harry C. Neel. Jefferson Memorial Park was founded in 1929 and passed down to his only son, John D. Neel, who is credited with the growth and innovation that has made Jefferson Memorial what it is today. John’s eldest son, also Harry C. Neel, currently runs the business as President and CEO. Harry’s oldest daughter, Dagny V.N. Fitzpatrick, joined the sales department of Jefferson Memorial and is now Vice President in charge of Family Services. Harry’s second daughter, Whitney R. Neel, joined the Funeral Home team in 2013 and will become the family’s 1st Funeral Director upon completion of her mortuary degree in December 2016. Jefferson Memorial Funeral Home Facts • A fully handicap accessible facility • 18,500 square feet of floor space, beautifully decorated in Williamsburg décor • A chapel with vaulted ceiling and cushioned pews to seat up to 115 people • 5 visitation rooms • Hospitality room and lounge with parquet hardwood flooring • A children’s room that offers parents and guardians the ability to express their condolences without a babysitter (adult supervision is required) • Lighted parking lot that holds 178 cars with 6 handicap accessible parking spots Jefferson Memorial Cemetery Facts • Jefferson cemetery consists of 340 owned acres with 170 acres developed and 180 acres available for future development • 1500 average annual interments • 38 traditional ground burial gardens including 4 lawn crypt sections for double depth burials • Mausoleum Crypt spaces constructed for casketed burial that includes
