To the entire Griffing extended family, my heart aches for all of you in the loss of your matriarch. She was such a warm and kind woman; all were welcomed with open arms, including me. She had a strength and grace about her that few others can claim. She lived a very full and wonderful life with her family and their families.
Once the heartache has abated, I hope that you will all find time to truly celebrate her life for the extraordinary person she was and for the time that each of you had with her. We should all be as blessed with such a long life and such close bonds.
I, for one, will never forget her.
Our sweet mother! And what a blessing it is to call you "mother." It is so hard to grasp that you won't be there for guidance, or to watch nature unfold from season to season, or to hold my hand as we say the night's prayers. But the love you shared is overflowing in our hearts and the priceless memories will be forever etched in our minds. Until the day comes for God to call on us and we see each other again, rest in the peace you so deserve and know that our love for you continues to grow. Thank you for all you have done for us and for being the most perfect example of a mother, a lady and a wife that God has truly ever created. We love you, Mom... always.
What wonderful memories of being neighbors on Gabriella Lane! We still miss you all! So happy that someday we will be together again as neighbors in Heaven with our Lord! Your Mom was so sweet and wise and she will be missed by us and so many others. We love you all and cherish our times together. Mary Fernandez, Suzy F. Schenk
