To Deidre, Allan and the Griffith Family--
Please know that our prayers are with you and your family. We will all miss our vibrant, loving, caring Sister and Friend. My heart is heavy because I won't be there for her celebration of life, but my memories of her infectious smile, her being the "liaison" for West Side High Alumni, and how she was able to bring such positive energy into a room will last forever in my heart! May our God comfort you as only He can. Our West Side Reunions will never be the same without her presence. Know that she is resting in the arms of Jesus...until we meet again...rest on my Sista!!

To Deidre, Allan, and the entire Griffith Family, May God comfort you as only He can. Our dear Sister, Friend, Classmate, and "liaison" for West Side High Alumni,
will be greatly missed. I always looked forward to celebrating and fellowshipping with her at Class Reunions...it didn't matter which class, as long as it was West Side High!! Her smile and candor was infectious and my heart is heavy as are the many others who either knew her or knew of her!! Though I will not be able to celebrate her life with you, my prayers are with you! May this kind, loving, warm human being who loved life, rest in the arms of our Lord and Savior. Sleep on dear friend...sleep on!

Deborah I knew you at LU, but really became good friends with you by reacquainting on FB. You became a very close friend who has been there for me in good times and bad. We communicated often. This was quite a shock.
I'll miss your laughter and extreme kindness. Our loss is heaven's gain.
My deepest condolences go out to your family. Your spirit will live on.
