Dear Shellie, Donna, and Bobby:
Your Mom was a very sweet person! I always enjoyed being in church with her at Curtis Memorial. Now her and Mama (Ma Griffin) are in Heaven together taking care of business! May God give you peace during this sad time.
Love to all of you!

Marie's children, Grandchildren
I am very sorry to hear of your Mother and Grandmother's passing.
I did not know Marie that well but the few times I met her I knew right off that she was a very sweet lady.
And I wish that I had known her better. Christine is my husband Bobby's aunt on the Sykes side.
I just wanted to let you know your whole family is in my prayers at this time and I pray that God will be with you and sustain you untill you meet her again in Heaven on Angel Wings.
Keep her memory close to your heart and she will never fade away.
