To the family and friends,
I am very sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one.
God promises that our loved ones will come back to life. In the Bible at Acts 24:15 it says: "And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous." What will life be like then?
For comfort from the scriptures and answers to your questions, you can have free Bible studies. You may ask any one of Jehovah's Witnesses to make arrangements.

I was a classmate from the Pascagoula High School class of 1972. Marie was also in most of my classes from the 7th grade on through highschool. My condolences to her family for their loss of a relative.

I had the pleasure of being Lela's manager for a little more than a year in Winter Haven. Her desk was right outside my office for the majority of her time there. She carried the most positive outlook on life that certainly was contagious. I wish I could have had the opportunity to know her longer. I extend my sympathies to her family.

I am so saddened at the loss of this wonderful awesome person. Marie and I were Insurance coworkers for more than 30+ years. She on the agency side while I was on the company side . Our friendship wasn’t social, we didn’t go out to dinner or attend events together but nonetheless I considered Marie a good friend. After my retirement we became Facebook friends. I will miss keeping up with my friend’s journeys and her awesome family. My thoughts and prayers for your family. Marie was a wonderful person. Brenda Ritz

Dear Family of Marie,
I am so sorry to hear of Marie's passing. I have not seen in her a couple of years but have kept up with her going and coming on Facebook. She was a beautiful person and we came to know one another through Isle of Faith UMC. I am so shocked to see this but am praying for you all for God's comfort and peace that exceeds all human understanding. I thank Him for having known you, Marie. Rest in Peace dear one.

I worked with your dear sweet mother @ State Farm in Winter Haven, FL. I did not know her long but she was a pure joy to be around. Her smile was infectious and her attitude was always so bright and cheerful. She always came into that building with a smile on her face. She sat in front of me and we shared a lot of stories about our families. She truly loved her girls and her grandchildren and I know that she will be deeply missed by them. My prayers and thoughts are with each of you.

Donna,
I could not figure out why your mom was on mind so much recently after all these years!
I finally googled it and this is what I found.
I am so very sorry for your loss. Your mom was a wonderful mom & a great friend to me!!
So, so sorry!

Ree lived down the street from us Dees kids. Our baby sister Lois Ann and Ree were the best of friends. We all played together, got in trouble together, and had a wonderful childhood of being friends. Your mom came to Georgia to the bedside of her friend Lois Ann in her final hours of life here on earth a little over a year ago. It meant so much to Lois and to to be able to say goodbye to her friend. One entire night Ree stayed up with me as we were watchmen on the wall with my baby sister Lois. We prayed, we laughed, we cried sharing all of the good times of our lives and our pains together. I will never forget our friend Lela Maria Griffith. Our hearts and prayers are with each one of her precious family. You were her life! RIP!

So sorry to hear of Ree Ree's passing. We grew up by each other and she was with us when my baby sister, one of her lifelong friends, passed away last year. She made the world a better, brighter place. I would exhort you her family to think of her undescribable joy and happiness now that she has entered into the very presence of God. Let's strive to follow her great example and join her when our time comes.

Dear Griffith Family,
Having lived around the corner from you all, Marie is a part of my childhood narrative (as are Heather, Tina, & Donna). I loved her dearly and will never forget her sweet smile and laugh. You all are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

To ReeRee's daughters, grandchildren, I am expressing such deep sorrow at your mothers passing. Ree was so full of life and sunshine to everyone she met. We grew up together, me on School St. and Ree on Canty St. She and my sister LoisAnn were friends for life and she was there for Lois when she was passing away and again for the rest of the family by coming to the funeral. She was a pleasure and joy to be around and I know she had to be the very best Mother and grandmother to yall. The memories she created with youall will help get you through the tuff times. May GOD help each one of you and help get you through this very sad time in your lives. Also may the GOD of Peace provide comfort and give you the peace that surpasses all understanding.
I feel very blessed to have known Ree as she was an inspiration to many.
