My deepest sympathy to you, Mr. Griffin. You and Juanita were so kind to me. You and son Phil gave me my first plane flight, and absolutely nothing can surpass my delight in being up there with you two.
Most sincerely,

Lucila, what a beautiful tbtiure to your Abuela! I will certainly be generous with my smiles today. I understand your sadness; I was very close to my grandmother who was full of smiles and laughter who died in 2001. She was my matron of honor in my wedding and held on to her life until she met my first baby, Maddie. She literally died the next day I still miss her and think of her every day. My heart is wrapped around you today!Darcy
