Hepsy, the Griffith & Gordon Families

Please accept sincerest condolences from Wally and the Bayne Family.
I tend to be at a loss for words at this time, however, you are aware of my closeness to Winston. On my tree of friends, he was one of my "root" friends and quite the opposite of the leaf and branch friends who either fall off or break off along this path of life. Winston, may your soul rest in peace and rise in glory!

April 5, 2014

Hepsy, my deepest sympathy to you at this sad time. We will miss Winston very much. I will continue to prayer for the family. Tomorrow, I will put Winston's name on the prayer list of those who have passed over. May he rest in peace. Your sister Hales.
