<div>Hello Mrs. Martin,</div><div> I believe we took care of Vaclav and Rose Rehak and you have that information now. We looked up your grandparents, Ben and Alvina DeKaifetz. Ben died in 1963 in Pittsburg, Tx and Alvina died in 1972 in Dallas, Tx. They are all in the same niche: Room 1, Niche 6, Row D. In researching this, I also found an "Alva" DeKaifetz who was a 1 year old baby and she died in December of 1918 in Cincinnati, Oh. She is in Room 1 Niche 20, Row B. Don't know if that is a relative or not. We have services scheduled in our chapel for today and tomorrow and that is where the Niches are. So, please bear with me and I'll email you a picture during the week. I don't know how well it will turn out because the chapel is pretty dark, but we'll do our best.<br></div>
