Standing in solemn reflection with our community, Rone Funeral Service observes Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day. This is a sacred time to honor the memory of the six million Jews who perished and the millions of others who suffered, ensuring that their stories and legacies are never forgotten.

The resilience of the human spirit serves as a profound lesson for us all, reminding us of the importance of compassion, courage, and the responsibility we share to stand against injustice. By lighting a memorial candle and engaging in quiet contemplation, we pay tribute to the lives lost and the survivors who have shared their strength with the world.

We join in the collective promise of "Never Again," committing ourselves to a future built on the foundations of dignity, respect, and remembrance.

“Yom HaShoah translates to ‘Yom HaShoah Ve-Hagevurah’ in Hebrew, meaning ‘Day of the Remembrance of the Holocaust and Heroism.’ ‘HaShoah’ also translates to ‘whirlwind.’ The day was officially recognized on April 12, 1951, in the Israeli parliament. Falling on the 27th of the month of Nisan on the Jewish calendar, the day comes a week after the Passover holiday.
This Remembrance Day began to be commemorated due to the lack of sympathy Israeli youngsters had towards the Holocaust victims who, according to the youngsters, were taken for slaughter like sheep, without any form of resistance. Once authorities came to know about such views, they made it a point of illuminating the heroes who fought against Hi**er and his forces. Stories of bravery and determination began being taught in educational institutions.
From 1951 onwards, people have been honoring the occasion by lighting special wax candles that have the star of David in them. Recognized as a national holiday in Israel, Yom HaShoah also sees Jews visiting synagogues for their holy book recitations and to share stories, etc. On the day, at 10 am, sirens also ring through the streets for 2 minutes, and everyone is required to stop for the entirety of the sirens to remember the Holocaust atrocities. Any vehicles running on roads also stop. Every aspect of life on Yom HaShoah is geared towards the recognition of Jewish heroism and resolve during the hard times of the Holocaust from 1933 to 1945.”

The 65th Infantry Regiment, known as the Borinqueneers, represents a legacy of immense bravery and dedicated service. This National Borinqueneers Day, we honor the Puerto Rican soldiers who served with distinction across multiple global conflicts. Rone Funeral Service recognizes the profound sacrifices made by these veterans and the enduring impact of their courage on our national history. Their story is one of resilience and unwavering commitment to the values of duty and honor.

Honoring the memory of those who served in the 65th Infantry is a privilege we share with our entire community. We remain deeply grateful for the veterans and families who have given so much to protect our freedoms. Rone Funeral Service stands in salute to these heroes, ensuring that their contributions are remembered with the respect and dignity they deserve.

“Dating back to 1899, the 65th “Infantry Regiment” was intended only for service on the island of Puerto Rico. They were regarded as unsuitable for combat and overseas deployment.
This racism kept them from serving in combat as they were simply regarded as untrustworthy in battle because of their culture. It was only until the Korean War that the “U.S. Army” decided to use them as first-line combat troops from 1950 to 1953 as part of the 3rd Infantry Division. Also known as the ‘el sesenta y cinco de infanteria’ and its men as the ‘Borinqueneers,’ it was made up solely of Puerto Rican soldiers. The name ‘Borinqueneers’ is both a Spanish and English translation of ‘Boriken,’ the Arawak or Taino indigenous name for Puerto Rico. The three first syllables are read in Spanish and the last one is in English.
Despite the signing of Executive Order 9981 by President Harry Truman in 1948 which paved the way for the desegregation of the armed forces, the 65th Infantry remained a segregated Puerto Rican unit. These soldiers suffered ethnic prejudice such as not being allowed to speak Spanish, cutting off their rations of rice and beans, as well as being ordered to shave off their mustaches. For Puerto Rican males, this was degrading as mustaches symbolized manhood. In the face of these hardships, the Borinqueneers fought relentless North Korean and Chinese soldiers in fierce combat. They continued to serve with distinction in key battles, continuing to pay the price in both lives and dignity until it was deactivated on April 10, 1956.”

Today we honor the legacy of one of our nation’s founding fathers on National Thomas Jefferson Day. As the primary author of the Declaration of Independence and our third president, his contributions to the ideals of liberty and education continue to shape the world we live in. We take this time to reflect on the historical figures who laid the groundwork for our community and the values we hold dear at Rone Funeral Service.

It is through remembering the past that we find inspiration for the future and a deeper appreciation for the heritage that connects us all. Rone Funeral Service joins in recognizing the enduring influence of his leadership and the intellectual spirit he championed. His dedication to public service remains a powerful reminder of the impact one individual can have on the course of history.

“We can only understand the significance of Thomas Jefferson Day once we understand how significant he was in the building of the United States. As a political philosopher, Jefferson associated himself with many intellectual leaders in Britain and France. Jefferson advocated for the separation of the church and state and wrote the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom.
Jefferson was renowned as, among other things, a horticulturist, statesman, architect, archaeologist, author, inventor, and founder of the University of Virginia! In the early stages of his career, Jefferson practiced law and served in the Virginia House of Burgesses. In 1794, Jefferson wrote A Summary View of the Rights of British America. This was intended as instructions for the Virginia delegates to a national congress. The pamphlet was a powerful argument for American independence. The summary also stated why Britain should relinquish its powers. The summary helped speed up the path to independence and marked Jefferson as one of the Founding Fathers of the new nation. Since Jefferson was the primary author of the Declaration of Independence and a significant contributor to American political and civil culture, it was decided that Jefferson would write the first draft of the Declaration. Later on, the draft underwent some alteration but remained largely Jefferson’s work.
After Jefferson retired from public office, he founded the University of Virginia. Jefferson passed away on Independence Day, July 4, 1826. This day was also the 50th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence.”

The aroma of a freshly baked dessert has a unique way of bringing a sense of home and comfort to any gathering. On National Peach Cobbler Day, we celebrate this timeless treat that has graced many family tables over the years. At Rone Funeral Service, we know how powerful these simple traditions can be in connecting us to our favorite memories and the people we cherish most.

Warm fruit and a golden crust represent more than just a delicious snack; they represent the heritage of our local kitchens and the sweetness of shared moments. Rone Funeral Service is happy to join the community in honoring the small joys that make every day a little brighter. Whether you are using a secret family recipe or trying a new one, we hope you enjoy a slice of this classic comfort today.

“Varieties of pie and cobbler have existed for thousands of years, yet peach cobbler is distinctly tied to early European settlers in America. As Americans pushed into the West and settled the frontier, fruit could be difficult to come by. Simple and easy fruit cobblers became popular dishes for breakfast as well as dessert! It was in the mid-1800s, as westward expansion in America took off, that peach cobbler rose in popularity.
These pioneers had to make do — though preserves and foods with baking powder added weren’t considered fine cuisine, the settlers didn’t have many options and often relied on these ingredients. They would cobble together fruit filling with plain biscuit dough on top, and the result looked like a cobbled street! Lacking real ovens, settlers would use campfire ‘Dutch ovens’ to heat up the dessert.
Cobblers eventually took off in popularity. Today, there are countless varieties of cobblers, including crisps, crumbles, Brown Betties, tarts, and crumbles. What do they have in common? Fruit, sugar, flour, and butter! Despite the variations on the classic, it’s still easy to find old-time recipes for cobbler, just like early Americans would have made. It’s hard to improve on the original!
In the 1950s, the Georgia Peach Council began to promote Peach Cobbler Day in April. This was part of an effort to drive canned peaches sales, as April isn’t the time of year for fresh peaches! Their efforts paid off and the national holiday was born. Since, there have been many celebrations of peach cobbler, including at the Georgia Peach Festival. In 2007, the largest peach cobbler was made at the festival and was more than 11 feet long! Peach cobbler remains a popular and classic American dessert today.”

National Licorice Day is a wonderful time to celebrate a classic treat that has been enjoyed for generations. Whether you prefer the traditional black licorice or the many colorful fruit-flavored varieties, this day is all about savoring a small bit of sweetness. At Rone Funeral Service, we appreciate the simple traditions that bring our community together and the nostalgic flavors that often remind us of fond memories shared with loved ones.

It is often the smallest things, like a favorite childhood candy, that can spark a warm reflection or a smile. We hope everyone in our community finds a moment to enjoy their favorite variety of this timeless snack today. Rone Funeral Service is proud to be a part of these everyday celebrations that make life unique.

“Licorice is extracted from the licorice plant and can be used in numerous innovative ways. Licorice is used for making candy, for flavoring drinks and teas, and some cultures even claim that licorice has special medicinal properties.
Ancient Egyptians would use licorice as a healing food ingredient. A great amount of licorice was found in the tomb of King Tut! Hieroglyphics from Ancient Egypt show that licorice was enjoyed as a drink. Licorice was popular among the royals — Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, and Napoleon Bonaparte were recorded as using licorice for their health benefits. It would not be until the 17th century that records indicate that licorice was being made into candy in Holland. From there, sailors carried this treat with them to other countries in Europe and eventually all over the world. Today, licorice candy is produced not only in Europe but also in Australia and the Americas. Licorice is now being enjoyed globally.
Created by Licorice International in 2004, National Licorice Day celebrates the rich history and unique flavor of licorice. Even though black licorice is the original, licorice is available in many flavors and colors. Those who do not prefer the special taste of black licorice can instead have the choice to enjoy different varieties of licorice. Consumed by people across the globe, licorice is a delectable treat with a distinctive flavor. It is used as an ingredient in many candies. National Licorice Day is the perfect day to explore different flavors and to try new licorice recipes.”

On World Hamster Day, we celebrate the small but mighty companions that bring an oversized amount of joy and personality into our homes. These tiny friends teach us about the beauty of simple moments and the deep impact a pet can have on our lives, regardless of their size. At Rone Funeral Service, we understand that every bond is significant and deserves to be honored with care and respect.

Whether they are busy scurrying through their tunnels or peacefully curled up in a quiet corner, our pocket-sized pets hold a very special place in our hearts. They may be small, but the memories they leave behind are lasting and meaningful to those who loved them. Rone Funeral Service joins our community in recognizing the unique happiness these little creatures provide and the comfort they offer as loyal members of the family.

“Hamsters are a part of the history of this world and they are recorded to have existed for nearly 11.2 million to 16.4 million years during the Middle Miocene Epoch in Europe and North Africa. Their presence in Asia extends from six million to 11 million years. Unfortunately, over time, at least four of the different hamster species have become extinct, one of which had lived in North Africa during the Middle Miocene period.
A breed of Syrian hamsters was considered to be extinct until a mother hamster with her babies was discovered in 1930. The discovery was made by biologist Israel Aharoni, who had launched an expedition near the ancient city of Aleppo to find Syrian hamsters. He had heard the stories of a ‘golden hamster’ and had made it his aim to research the creature.
Though Aharoni was not fond of travel, he believed the hamster species needed to be found. After searching for days with a local hunter, Aharoni discovered a litter of Syrian hamsters. As the pets were detained, the team noticed that the wild mother hamster began to eat her litter. The reason? It is a horrifying aspect of the innocent pet’s nature. The baby hamsters that survived the mother were bred into the colony, and the rest is history! All domestic golden hamsters in the U.K. and the U.S. now descend from that one captured in 1930 by Israel Aharoni.”

Sometimes the simplest things in life are the ones that bring us the most comfort.

Happy National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day from your friends at Rone Funeral Service!

We believe there is something truly special about a classic that never goes out of style. Much like a warm memory, a perfectly toasted grilled cheese has a way of making everything feel a little bit better. Whether you prefer the traditional American cheese on white bread or like to get creative with sourdough and sharp cheddar, today is the day to celebrate this ultimate comfort food.

In a world that often moves too fast, taking a moment to sit down and enjoy a warm, melty sandwich is a great way to slow down and appreciate the simple joys. It’s a reminder that even the smallest traditions can hold a lot of heart.

“Food historians and experts tell us that cultures around the world have been enjoying cheese on bread since ancient times. The modern grilled cheese sandwich that we enjoy today originated in the 1920s.
While we don’t know the creator of grilled cheese sandwiches, we owe its success to Otto Frederick Rohwedder, who invented the bread slicer during the Industrial Revolution. His invention made dividing bread into even slices easier and more affordable. Luckily, shortly before the bread slicer was perfected, James L. Kraft created processed cheese. This meant that cheese could be transported over long distances and not spoil. Each significant in their own way, both inventions revolutionized sandwiches forever!
So who was the genius behind grilling the combination of cheese and bread to create the grilled cheese sandwich? According to government-issued cookbooks, surprisingly it is the American Navy who thought of it or, at the very least, were the first to publish the recipe. Hundreds of “American cheese-filled sandwiches” were prepared by Navy chefs for military personnel during World War II.
The term ‘grilled cheese’ was coined in the 1960s when the second slice of bread was added to the top of grilled cheese. Other popular names were cheese toasty and toasted cheese sandwiches.”

Sometimes the best way to honor the stories of the past is to get lost in a new one today.

Happy National Drop Everything and Read Day from your friends at Rone Funeral Service!

In our line of work, we spend a lot of time reflecting on life stories, legacies, and the power of words to bring comfort. Today, we’re taking a moment to celebrate the simple, quiet joy of opening a book and letting everything else fade away for a while. Whether it’s a classic novel, a biography of someone inspiring, or even a collection of poetry, reading allows us to walk in someone else's shoes and find a little peace in a busy world.

We encourage everyone in our community to take at least thirty minutes today to "drop everything" and dive into a chapter or two. It’s a wonderful way to recharge the spirit and keep our minds sharp.

“The history of Drop Everything and Read Day, often called D.E.A.R. Day, is closely tied to the legacy of the beloved children's author Beverly Cleary. While the concept of set times for silent reading had been used in schools for decades, the specific name and widespread popularity of the movement originated in Cleary’s 1981 book Ramona Quimby, Age 8. In the story, Ramona’s teacher initiates a period where students stop their work to read for pleasure, a concept that resonated deeply with young readers and educators alike.
Because so many children wrote to Cleary about how much they enjoyed the D.E.A.R. time in their own classrooms, a national campaign was eventually launched to make it an official observance. In 2006, to celebrate Beverly Cleary’s 90th birthday, a coalition of literacy organizations and publishers designated April 12th as the official day for the event. The date was chosen specifically to honor Cleary's birthday and her commitment to making reading accessible and enjoyable for children.
Over the years, the celebration has grown beyond a single day into a month-long focus on literacy throughout April. The goal remains to encourage people of all ages to set aside digital distractions and daily chores to rediscover the simple joy of a book. It serves as a reminder that taking time for quiet reflection and imagination is an essential part of lifelong learning and personal growth.

In observation of Divine Mercy Sunday, our community gathers in a spirit of profound hope and reflection. This sacred day serves as a beautiful reminder of the boundless compassion and forgiveness available to all, offering a message of peace that resonates deeply within our hearts and homes.

The themes of grace and renewal are central to this celebration, providing comfort to those seeking solace and a sense of belonging. At Rone Funeral Service, we recognize the strength found in faith and the enduring power of mercy to heal and unite us during life’s most significant moments.

We wish everyone a day filled with spiritual peace, reflection, and the warmth of a supportive community.

“The story of Divine Mercy Sunday, also known as ‘the Feast of the Divine Mercy,’ is thousands of years old. However, the official recognition of the day was only authenticated by the Vatican in 2000. Pope John Paul II declared the Sunday after Easter to be called “Divine Mercy Sunday.” Since that declaration, it has been marked in the General Roman Calendar as a religious observance celebrated by Catholics worldwide.
The significance of the day can be attributed to St. Faustina Kowalska, a Polish nun who experienced visions from Christ himself. Born in 1905, she served her parish well and communed with Jesus on several occasions where he communicated with her that he wished to be “a refuge and a shelter for all souls, and especially for poor sinners.” St. Faustina, also known as the ‘Secretary of Divine Mercy,’ died in 1938 in Krakow at age 33 after suffering from Tuberculosis.
Divine Mercy Sunday is a space specifically designated for those who feel unworthy of God’s love and Jesus’s acceptance. In a vision, he told St. Faustina, “I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who approach the fount of My mercy.” Divine Mercy Sunday, from its advent, has been a source of reconciliation with faith and God’s mercy. It provides a specific day on which people from all walks of life can humble themselves before God, and ask for his mercy, love, and forgiveness, which he grants to all those who are willing to ask for it. It is also about forgiveness and mercy, how Jesus offered his to us, and how we should act in kind throughout our lives.”

Today at Rone Funeral Service, we are inspired by the spirit of Good Deeds Day, a global movement dedicated to the simple yet powerful idea that every person can do something good to improve the lives of others and positively change the world.

Kindness has always been the cornerstone of our mission. Whether it is a small gesture like holding a door, a warm smile to a neighbor, or volunteering your time for a local cause, every act of service creates a ripple effect of hope throughout our community.

We believe that even the smallest deed can make a monumental difference in someone's day. Today, we encourage everyone to look for an opportunity to lend a helping hand or share a moment of compassion.

“Good Deeds Day is the brainchild of Shari Arison, a U.S.-born Israeli businesswoman, and philanthropist. She came up with this holiday in 2007 to serve as an example to others. By going out of our way to do good deeds, we can inspire others into doing the same. This simple principle has proven successful, as each year, more people have joined this noble cause. Good Deeds Day is run by Ruach Tova, which is Hebrew for ‘Good Spirit.’ Ruach Tova is a non-profit organization promoting volunteer work in Israel. It’s part of the Ted Arison Family Foundation — the group’s philanthropic branch.
The importance of doing good cannot be stressed enough. We live in a world with increasingly polarized relations between the haves and the have-nots. It’s our responsibility to bridge this gap in whatever way we can. One act of kindness can make all the difference in a person’s life, and drive them to help others whenever they are in a position to do so. Good Deeds Day takes this mission to a global scale, involving millions of people and thousands of organizations that dedicate themselves to helping those who can’t help themselves. There’s no greater service for a human being than uplifting their fellow man, and that’s what this holiday is all about.
Through its network of volunteers, event organizers, and resource mobilizers, Good Deeds Day raises awareness of the power of charity work and community development efforts. The movement continues to grow and the future of this holiday grows ever brighter.”

The joy of the Resurrection fills our hearts and homes today as we celebrate the miracle of Pascha. Rone Funeral Service extends the warmest wishes for a blessed and peaceful Orthodox Easter to all the families in our community.
Christ is Risen! This season of renewal brings a profound sense of hope and light to every gathering. It is a privilege for Rone Funeral Service to share in the traditions that unite us during such a sacred time.
May your celebration be filled with the love of family and the comfort of faith. We hope this day of victory and grace brings lasting joy to your spirit. Rone Funeral Service remains honored to support you through every season of life.
“Orthodox Easter, often referred to as Pascha, is the most significant celebration in the Eastern Orthodox liturgical calendar. It commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ and is considered the "Feast of Feasts," surpassing even Christmas in religious importance for Orthodox Christians worldwide. While the fundamental theology is shared with Western Christianity, the history of Orthodox Easter is defined by a deep commitment to ancient calendar systems and specific ecclesiastical rules established in the early centuries of the Church.
The historical foundation for the date of Easter was set in 325 AD during the First Council of Nicaea. The Council decreed that all Christians should celebrate the Resurrection on the same day: the first Sunday following the first full moon that occurs on or after the vernal equinox. However, a major historical divide emerged in 1582 when the Western Church adopted the Gregorian calendar to correct astronomical inaccuracies. The Orthodox Church chose to retain the Julian calendar for calculating the date of Pascha to maintain continuity with the early Church Fathers. Because the Julian calendar currently runs thirteen days behind the Gregorian calendar, and because Orthodox tradition requires that Easter must take place after the Jewish Passover, the two dates often differ by one to five weeks.
The spiritual journey toward Orthodox Easter begins with Great Lent, a forty-day period of strict fasting and self-reflection that mirrors Jesus’ time in the wilderness. This leads into Holy Week, where each day is marked by lengthy, ancient services that recount the final days of Christ’s life. One of the most unique historical traditions is the "Holy Light" ceremony in Jerusalem. Every year on Holy Saturday, the Orthodox Patriarch enters the Tomb of Christ in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, where a flame is said to miraculously ignite. This light is then shared with the faithful and even transported via special flights to various Orthodox nations, symbolizing the spread of the Resurrection throughout the world.
The celebration reaches its peak during the midnight Resurrection service on Easter Sunday. The church is initially plunged into darkness to represent the tomb, until the priest emerges with a single lit candle, proclaiming "Christos Anesti" (Christ is Risen), to which the congregation responds, "Alithos Anesti" (Truly He is Risen). This is followed by the blessing of food baskets and a grand feast that marks the end of the Lenten fast. Traditional foods, such as the braided sweet bread known as tsoureki and hard-boiled eggs dyed deep red to represent the blood of Christ, have remained central to the observance for centuries.

Some things are just meant to be classics, even if they were a little temperamental.

Happy National Eight-Track Tape Day from your friends at Rone Funeral Service!
In our line of work, we appreciate things that are built to last, but even we have to admit that the eight-track was a unique breed. It was the only format that would decide to switch tracks right in the middle of your favorite guitar solo with a loud "clunk," or occasionally decide to "eat" the very music you were enjoying.

While the world has moved on to digital playlists and streaming, there’s something nostalgic about that bulky plastic cartridge and the specialized skill it took to fix a loop with a pencil. It reminds us that every era has its own rhythm and its own special way of making memories—even if those memories came with a bit of background hiss.

Whether you still have a crate of tapes in the attic or you haven't seen one since 1978, today is the day to celebrate the analog soul.

“Did you know the eight track tape was designed by a jet plane designer? While William Powell Lear is best known for his jet, the Learjet, he also developed a way to create eight channels (tracks) of magnetic recording tape. This invention revolutionized music technology and the way we hear our tunes – for just a little while. The eight track tape fad really only existed in the United States from the mid-1960s to the late 1980s, when cassette tapes took over.
With Lear’s new device, the eight track tape, it was possible to record one continuous loop of tape and wind it into a cartridge without damaging sound quality. The automobile industry was quick to capitalize on the new trend and install eight track players in their new lines of vehicles. In 1966, Ford offered both factory-installed and dealer-installed eight track players in its luxury vehicles, and Chrysler and General Motors followed suit by 1967.
In 1966, over 65,000 players were sold, and their eight track was becoming an important part of driving in America. In fact, the convenience and portability enjoyed in the car began to spread into the home and more. The eight track soon transcended driving culture as it was brought to parks and beaches across the nation. In 1970, eight track manufacturing was brought to Europe. Though the attempt was largely unsuccessful and the company failed in just four short years, vintage eight tracks can still be found in the United Kingdom, West Germany, Italy, and more. The first karaoke machine was actually made from an eight track!
The fame of the eight track was on the rise for a decade. Competitors who created smaller cassette tapes found methods of increasing quality, and the ease of damaging and decreasing quality of the eight track drove consumers to embrace a new decade of music technology. The smaller cassette, which was only a third the size of an eight track tape, was already favored by the mid-1970s. Retail stores stopped selling eight track tapes in the 1980s, and by 1988, the last famous album released on eight track had come and gone. The once-stunning piece of technology became a footnote in the history books, but many fans of that era of music and culture can still dig up an old eight track tape in the attic and recall fond memories of hitting the open roads listening to their favorite tunes.”
