Condolences
To the Griffiths Family, My
To the Griffiths Family,
My heart hurts for all of you as you deal with the loss of your wife, mother and grandmother. She was such a wonderful woman. I first met Flo when she was my high school bus driver. Years later, we became bowling teammates. We developed a great friendship and Flo always made you feel like you were a part of her family. I have such fond memories with the "four musketeers". She was a great hostess, inviting us over frequently for parties, picnics, hayrides, and caroling. I will always remember her sweet smile and trademark dimples. May you find comfort is your own wonderful memories. God bless you.
Love,
Gail
