On National Pet Day, we celebrate the incredible ways our furry friends fill our lives with joy, purpose, and connection. They greet us with unconditional love, comfort us in quiet moments, and remind us to embrace life with playfulness and heart. Pets leave pawprints on our hearts that stay forever, shaping the way we love, connect, and find meaning in every day. At Alternatives, we honor these special companions as cherished members of our families, whose presence makes life fuller and more meaningful. Let’s see your pets! They make life brighter.

Gandhi teaches us that we discover our truest selves in service to others. When we connect deeply, act with integrity, grow through challenges, show respect, and serve with heart, every act becomes a chance to honor life and uplift those around us.

Choosing to donate your organs or body is more than a decision—it’s a way to stay connected to the lives you touch, to honor others with respect, and to serve your community long after you’re gone. It’s about leaving a meaningful legacy and growing the impact of your life.

Napoleon Hill, renowned author of Think and Grow Rich, reminded us that ‘the time will never be just right.’ From a life-to-the-fullest perspective, especially in the context of honoring life’s fleeting nature, his words encourage us to act, connect, and make meaningful moments now—because waiting for ‘perfect conditions’ means missing the moments that truly matter.

Jesus Angel Hernandez, who joined Alternatives in 2024, is originally from St. George, Utah, is fluent in Spanish and brings compassion and understanding to his work in funeral service. After six years as a high school educator, the loss of his grandfather and uncle in 2021 inspired him to change careers following the care he received from funeral directors who supported his family.

Now working alongside them, Jesus is dedicated to helping families find comfort and closure. A husband and new father, he values family deeply and serves each family with empathy, professionalism, and care.

RFK believed that bold action, courage, and persistence are the keys to creating real change. The remarkable part? You don’t have to be a public figure to live this truth. Every choice you make to take risks, follow your passions, or plan thoughtfully for the future—whether it’s for your family, your community, or your own dreams—is a step toward achievement and a lasting legacy. You, too, can dare greatly and leave something meaningful behind.
