Not sure what to say?

I met The Griffiths through their lovely daughter Joy who was my fellow co-worker. Sadly, it was when my own mother passed. However, Dona & Jim cooked and prayed for my family and friends. We spent many happy Thanksgivings at their home and I will miss Jim, dearly. He was a wonderful man, kind, smart, faith driven, honest and hard working. The entire family is in my prayers and thoughts.

whenever I think of Jim and Dona, I see sincere smiles. Jim brought me into Rotary and I appreciated learning from him. Prayers for Dona and family and friends to be comforted. God bless you, Linda G Connor

I worked with Jim over the past 5 years through his SCORE volunteer work. On many occasions Jim would host training workshops in Lewisville and he always was able to add meaning to our business topics by adding humor and stories. He had a special gift of story telling that will truly be missed.

Jim was our friend and our next-door neighbor. We are so fortunate to have known Jim and Dona for the past 18 years. We will miss him dearly.

Our sympathy to all of your family.

I SO enjoyed knowing Jim as we both served as Elders @ HP Presbyterian and in Downtown Rotary. Jim was a delight to know... always encouraging and upbeat. He will be missed by all who had the fortune to know him as a friend.
