Not sure what to say?

Dear Dr. Driggs, I am so sorry that Dottie is gone. You two always looked so great together you probably inspired many people to get married. And as one of my professors in the early '70s, you stood out clearly as one who both respected and cared about students. I sincerely hope you are bearing up well and are in a good situation there in Pennsylvania.

I remember Dottie as a bright, warm, generous, kind and lovely woman who loved her family, including her 4-legged children. I had wanted to visit Don and Dottie last fall since I hadn't seen them in quite a while. Unfortunately, I didn't do so and then found out they moved to PA. I regret that I didn't see her but will always remember her fondly. I extend my sincerest condolences to the family.

Dear Don,
My thoughts and sympathies are with you and yours in this very sad time.

How sweet my memories of many associations with Don & Dottie, mostly involved in our "good causes." I especially remember our stint of representing League of Women Voters/Tallahassee as we "adopted" Highway 27 north of the old Sam's Club. Always game, always a role model. Thanks for the wonderful memories.

What a model citizen. She was involved at many levels over the years in our community. She will be sorely missed. She and Don were such a lovely couple and remained active far past their prime. Dr. Driggs, you are in our thoughts and prayers as well as our close, good friend, Ken. To all other members of the family please know of our sympathy as you tread this difficult time. May the Prince of Peace grant you the same.

Dear Ken, I was just glancing through the paper and came across the very sad news. But God is good and I can tell you, your mothers spirit will live forever in you and all her other loved ones. You are a great person and I'm sure she was as well.

For the past 7 years, my husband and I and our two dogs used to spend weekend mornings walking in San Luis Ridge Park. I always looked forward to seeing ‘Don and Dottie’ there.

Dottie worked hard to keep our park clean. She walked the trails picking up trash left by others and she was always followed by her four legged angels. We often stopped and let our dogs visit each other and it was very apparent that she got tremendous joy from Sweetie, Pee Wee and Heidi. I think she probably got...

Dear Dr. Driggs and family. I was saddened to read of the passing of your beloved wife and mother. I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Driggs at Disability Determinations in the 90s. Dr. Driggs,you were a wonderful coworker so I knew you were married to a wonderful woman whom you spoke of often. You are in my thoughts and I know you have many, many years of precious memories to help you through this time.

What a beautiful and loving tribute to Mrs. Griggs. Although I never met her, she obviously left her mark on this world that benefited and bettered many peoples lives. We should all be so lucky and blessed to have one such as her grace our lives. She was truly a blessing here on earth and will be and is blessed a hundred-fold as her eternal reward. God bless you all as you all evolve through this life transition. We will all be together, by and by.
With Love~
