To Griff Walker. I still remember those three years in GSG together at Lanier. Though it was just those three years, I believe that each person we ever meet on this Earth helps to make us a little more the people we are today. I remember you to always be so smiling and full of life. And I hope that, wherever you are, that you will stay that way.

David, Denise, Jonelle, and Andrew

Griff left us too soon. We suppose it is not meant for us to understand why. Perhaps it is enough just to know that Griff was part of an amazing and loving circle of family and friends.

Griff's light shined only for a little while, but shine it did as you guys know better than any of us.

May you find comfort knowing that Griff is at rest and Griff is at peace. We take comfort to know that Griff's light will shine on in those of us that knew and loved him.

You guys have all of our love, tears, and sympathy.

Fred, BriAnne, and Chris Walker.
