To all of The Griffin Family,

I want to send you a note to express my sincere sympathy to all of you. As the days move forward we will all look back with the faith that Scott has suffered enough, and is now in a better place. We will remember the great memories he gave us at different times of our lives and be thankful we did have some wonderful days together. Both Suzan and I have you in our prayers.
