Holiday Remembrance Show + Tales will be held on Friday, December 6, 2024. Personal invitations were mailed out and this event is also open to the community. Feel free to share with anyone who may find comfort in joining us.

This storytelling event is a little bit different from a traditional holiday memorial service. You are invited to bring one item or photo that helps to keep the memory of your loved one alive. Share a specific memory of your relationship, or how you found a way to honor them. Laughter and lighthearted stories are welcome. Everyone is invited to share with a 3-5 minute time limit. No judges, no prizes, no competition--and no need to practice! Just show your object and share its tale. Or you may come to sit back, look, and listen. Telling a story is not required.

The gathering will take place at Wolfe Memorial, LLC, 3600 Greensburg Pike, Forest Hills PA 15221. Please let us know by Fri. Nov. 29 if you would like to join us. We look forward to connecting and sharing our stories together!
