So happy to have been able to join the celebration So happy to have been able to join the celebrations for our awesome niece, Caragh Kiefert. On the joyous occasion of her high school graduation, her parents Dan and Nancy, plus Aunt Mary and all members of the extended family are unanimous: She is a gem.
