We love you our beloved family. Thank you for sharing your Mommy. She was much much more than a favorite Aunt, she was like a second Mother. She had a quiet spirit but was soooooo funny. The love she extended to me and my brother was beautiful. We felt so safe in your care. We will always cherish the many memories we had together. Missing her so much ❤️. It hurts bad but God knows best.

In loving memory of my beloved Mother-in-Law, Mrs. Emma McGriff. With a heavy heart, and deep gratitude for a life well lived, I honor the memory of a very special woman. As my mother-in-law, she welcomed me into the family with open arms and a generous heart. Her warmth, wisdom, and gentle spirit made me feel loved,valued and right at home. I am blessed to have known and loved her for a short period of time, but she will be deeply missed and forever remembered. Sleep in peace, Queen.

"He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever. " Revelations 21:4
