Marley, our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of loss. Sunshine will again come into your life. May your memories bring great comfort.

My love and prayers go out to the Griffith family in this tender time. I share it with you, as my Dad just passed a few days ago. Both were children of the Great Depression and lived through World War II, and both went on to have long and full lives. Patsy loved her family dearly and I trust that her love will continue to sustain and strengthen you.
