To: Iesha & Family of Mr. James Griffin
We were certainly sorry to hear of the death of your brother and loved one. Please, we invite you to take courage and faith in the resurrection hope put in place by Jehovah God, by means of the ransom sacrifice of His Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ. As this virtually guarantees that we will again see our loved ones who have fallen asleep in death.

Our Deepest Sympathy . .

To Kamilah, James II, Jakayla, the Griffin and Watson Families,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. Lee Lee was truly a great person that loved to smile and make jokes. Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God, for just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. II Corinthians 1:3-5.

Always remember Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal. Be Blessed.

The Young-McDowell, Scott, Cooper-Jenkins and Mckiver Families-Julvonnia Young-McDowell, Kwania Scott, Kimberly Cooper-Jenkins, and Kimberly McKiver/Savannah, GA

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

May God give you strength!!

I've been trying to think of the right words to say to ease the pain of the Griffin family, and the only thing I could come up with is a facial expression and that's James Smile.
He wore it so well and I will always remember him, such a wonderful person.
To the Griffin family you have my deepest sympathy and it's my prayer God will keep you and be with you always.
