Cathy, Merlin, and Justin may God continue to Bless and Keep you in his care. Will miss him so much. Grew attached to him even more once I saw him at work on a not so good day. He smiled at me and said, "Remember, God is always in control Odom."

A life well lived and so unselfishly. I will so miss your smiling face around the church, but you have earned your crown. To Mrs. Cathy Griggs and your family, how selfless of you all to share your husband and father with the world to make an unforgettable difference. May God give you all peace and understanding in the dark hours and help you to continue to serve. Many blessings.
Sincerely,
Grace Davis

Truly a great man, always uplifting and inspirational. During a dark time in my life, he gave me some very encouraging words, words I mentally refer to often. I was never formally introduced to him, one day during my coaching days in Aldine, he simply walked up to me and complimented me. Although a member of the School Board, his humble, genuine and sincere approach still resonates. Through the years our paths frequently crossed and each time he left the same impression. Will miss this man.

Your dear husband and father to your two sons was a friend of mine from elementary school to the present time. Merlin was such a loving, compassionate, and honest individual.
