To Mrs. Griffin and the entire Griffin Family,

Our sincere sympathy and condolences to you in the loss of Rev. Griffin. We have beautiful memories of Dr. Griffin beginning many years ago. My earliest remembrance was from a Youth retreat in which the members hosted youth from the Dallas/Fort Worth Area in their homes. As always, you and Dr. Griffin made us feel especially welcome! As the years progressed and Dr. Griffin and you were called to ministry at Corinth Christian...

I was out of town when he died. I taught at Hamilton Park when he was a principal after integration. He was always supportive of me. Sorry for your loss. I'll miss him too.

To the family,
I'm sorry for your loss of a great man. I pray you may find comfort in his love of life and family. The sentiments left are heartfelt. Wishing you God's grace in this time of need.

To the family of Mr. Griffin,

Words can't begin to tell you what a wonderful principal he was to myself and my siblings when our parents moved into the Hamilton Park Community. Mr. Griffin was a no nonsense person, but he loved children. He wanted to see all children excell and to be respectful. Thank you for sharing him with us! God bless you all during this time.

Sister Pam and family, we were so sorry to hear of your loss. Just know that you guys are in our thoughts and prayers. God is our comforter so we can comfort others when they need it. We love you!! Charles, Julia and Joshua Harris
