Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Griffin family during these trying times. Diane had such a kind soul and was always a pleasure to be around. My mother Lillie is definitely feeling the loss of someone whom she considers to be the best hairdresser that she has ever had. Although she is no longer with us, she is not forgotten.
