Phyllis and family
Sorry I cant make it to funeral. Just found out about arrangements and i have a meeting tomorrow morning. I know everyone in my family loved Jack and he will be missed. He was one of my favorite relatives. I find comfort in knowing he is now in the arms of Jesus and I hope you all can too. I believe He is now celebrating with all of the family that has preceded him on that journey

Our deepest condolences to all of the the Kieffer family.
Jack and Phyllis were always friendly to me when I came to Buchtel in 1970 (although I already knew Phyllis from the days in High School when I worked at Mechem's). I then came to know Jackie through my Sister Martie. All the girls were so sweet as I watched them growing up.
Prayers of comfort for all of you and your families. God Bless.
