Mr. Griff,for the last 15 years you have been like a father to me, treating me like family before it became official. I love you, I miss you, and I will always remember the times we shared. Father's Day is coming up and It won't be the same. I will look forward to when we can share a meal together again.
With Love
Your Son-In-Law

To the Griffith Family;
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. If one should say to you that the soul perishes like the body, answer that the flower withers, but the seed remains.

Cheryl, Mrs. Griffith & Family:
You will never know how much you have been in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time of having to learn to adjust to living life without your father/husband. I know that there is any empty void. It will get better with time; however, you will never forget him. How do you forget someone who has been around for a lifetime? I will continuously lift each of you up in my prayers. May the peace of God be with you all to comfort you and give you strength to endure this sad moment in your lives.

I just wanted to express my deepest sympathy to you on the loss of your father/husband. Even though I did not know your father, I know each of you and you are sweet kind-hearted people. I once sat where you sit now and I know what you are feeling and going through, but know that GOD is there to comfort you. Lean on him for your strength and love during this most difficult time. Keeping each of you in my prayers.

Ms. Maxine, Cheryl, Darrell, Tina, Michael and Family; These have been trying times for you all but Mr. Griffith is in a much better place now. My wish is that you keep your hands in His and He will see you through this time of Sorrow. Earth has No Sorrow that Heaven cannot Heal. Take care in knowing Weeping may endure for a Night but Joy cometh in the Morning and your Morning is coming soon. Lean on the Love of family and friends. If there is anything I can do to help, please don’t hesitate to call me. God Bless You All.
If I could...
If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you
And share with you its beauty
On the days you're feeling blue.
If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own;
A place to find serenity,
A place to be alone.
If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea,
But all these things I'm finding
Are impossible for me.
I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair,
But let me be what I know best,
A friend who's always there.

Hello, Ms. Maxine, Micheal, Darryl and Cheryl,
You know, I can remember when Mr. Joe would bring his favorite lawn chair to the side of the garage and sit in the shade with that cool breeze and relax. I would eagerly run to the fence to hear him say, Hi Baby! following with stories of wisdom or a real funny experience. Later realizing those memories would be with me forever. Just know when you are standing in the shade, and you feel that cool breeze across your faces, it just Mr. Joe giving you kiss.
I WILL MISS YOU MR. JOE.
I love you all from the bottom of my heart

Hello, Ms Maxine,Micheal, Darryl and Cheryl
I can remember Mr. Joe sitting on the side of the garage in the cool shade relaxing in his special lawn chair, always with a smile. I would run to the fence eagerly to hear a comical experience or a story of wisdom to uplift my day, so when you feel a nice breeze blowing on your faces in the shade, know that he is with you always. I will miss you Mr. Joe.
I send to all of you love from the bottom of my heart .

To The Griffith Family,
With fond memories of Mr. Joe, you have my deepest sympathy. From the times I would get sick from all the fish he would clean in the backyard on Hale Ave. to the great time we had on the church picnic a couple of years ago, Mr. Joe was always the same. I loved being around him.

To the Griffith family...
It is never easy when God calls one of our loved ones home. His warmth and his smile will be sorely missed. But, the love that existed between you will keep you connected until you are reunited again in glory. The kingdom of Heaven is much more splendid because Monroe is there today. May God comfort all of you during this time of sorrow.
