To the Family:
Nothing is more important than leaving a remarkaable "legacy" behind for others to review and share. Appaently, Mrs. Griffin developed that legacy during her lifetime. The family is blessed with a wonderful gift. Continue to share her memoirs.

Cousin Bessie and I shared some great memories. She was person of wisdom and gave me a sense of knowing my family and its roots. The time she spent with me and my spouse will be remember. There is no one who has told me more about the history of the Griffin familhy than Bessie. I will miss you but you are in a better place.
