To The Griffin Family,
My heart was broken when I heard about Denis. I am so glad I got to see him a few weeks ago and tell him that I love him.

To Denis,
You were the kindest man and the true definition of "GENTLEMAN". Your quiet, yet EXTREMELEY generous gestures to me over the years will stay with me forever.

With Love,
Rosemary
