Not sure what to say?

Pop-Pop,
It's almost a year since you passed away, but we love and miss you as much as if it were yesterday. I know you are watching over all of us and that is very comforting. You have a new great-grandchild Morgan who is 6 1/2 months old. When she is older, I can't wait to tell her stories of my Pop-Pop Jack. I love you and miss you and will see you again someday.
Love,
Miss Katie

Our deepest sympathy. Jack's relationship goes back to when we were 14 years old. He was a great person. Roland & Doris

Mrs Keefe & Family,
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. Though I never met Mr. Keefe in person I know he was the kind of man that has touched so many lives in such positive ways. Wow, 59 years of marriage, that is beautiful. I know he will be greatly missed. Remember all the great times that you all spent together. God Bless. You will all be in my prayers.

Jack was a good colleague and an inspiration to those of us who see teaching as vocation not a job. Untold numbers of Lehigh students benefitted from having him as their economics instructor. He was a good man who had a good life in the face of serious challenges and who had a positive influence on many.

Our Very Dear Kay & Family,
No words could ever be enough to describe the privilege it is to have met you, Kay, and learn of your family. Jack contributed so much to so many. We can remember all the lives he's touched. We pray the Spirit of all comfort keeps you strong during this time and to the end. He is our joy in the midst of sorrow. God bless you always.
Much Love and Prayers,
Revs. Bob and Mary Hoppes

Jack is the best memory I have of my school days. He was the best teacher I ever had — he was a great educator. He was the one person during my college days who could turn negative issues into positive experiences. He gave me inspiration to charge on. I feel I have lost my best friend. But, I consider myself so lucky to have known Jack and been able to have his friendship for more than 40 years. Kay, may God bless you and your family.
