Deepest sympathy to the family of Mrs. Griffin, my beloved French teacher at FAMU High.

The class of 1956 was blessed and honored to have Mrs. Griffin attend almost all of our class reunions. We always looked forward to seeing her.

Rest Eternal grant unto her...

Mrs Griffin was one of my dearest patients at Dr Phillips dental office. From the 1st time we met, we had a bond. Her stories made me laugh and she had the most beautiful smile. I will miss her hugs. Sending prayers to her family. She loved you all! Leigh Phillips
