ADMIRAL NOAH NEIFERT VON SHAFFER SAILS OVER THE  RAINBOW BRIDGE

Admiral Noah Neifert von Shaffer passed away in his sleep  during the early 
hours of December 18, 2004. Admiral Noah was best known for  his years of 
commanding the vessel, the *my SWAN SONG*. Upon deciding to  retire, he 
trained his human parents, Captain Dale and Mrs. Anita Neifert,  in the ways 
of navigation and hostessing, and left them to continue his  legacy at sea.

The Admiral retired to Clearwater, Florida (as is expected  of those who 
retire), taking up residence at Cove Cay Country Club where he  lived in a 
posh double-wide next door to his new best friends, Elvis Parsley  and 
Toblerone (Toby) Boar. There he meet his future pig-wife, Lady Calliope,  
with whom he was smitten until the day he died, always handing off the  
cantaloupe to her when it was presented. She was several years his junior,  
but his patience and spunk made them the perfect couple.

Services  will be held for family only December 24th, Christmas Eve, in 
Sebring,  Florida where the Admiral will be laid to rest next to 
world-reknowned  medical Diva Pooh Bear Shaffer Dietrich, in beautiful Pooh's 
 
Garden.

Admiral Noah Neifert von Shaffer is survived by his wife-pig  Lady Calliope, 
friends Elvis Parsley and Toblerone Boar, his human parents  Dale and Anita 
Neifert, and his retirement mom, Brook Shaffer.

Rest  in peace, dear Noah. I hope we served you well during your short stay. 
I  wish you smooth waters and much parlsey.

Brook
Calliope, Elvis and  Toby
