Dear Griffis Family,
I saddened by the recent passing of your dear wife, mother & grandmother. Having known Bob for years I expressly send my deepest sympathies to him. Losing a loved one is never easy but losing one so dear is indeed very sad. Our community has lost a great lady who was involved in many community activities & I'm sure helped set the bench mark for many organizations. My prayers are with you in this time of need.
Sincerely,
Kimberley Combs
