“YOUR LOVE WILL REMAIN IN OUR HEARTS”
May the Holy Spirit strengthen and comfort all of you as you mourn the loss of your love one.
I give my heart-felt regards to the Grffin-Gundy family. I thank God for giving an opportunity to have met and live with this family on Arthur St. In 1972 a preacher knocked on my mom’s door and asked me would I like to come to their church. Pastor LC Griffin. And my life was forever changed. Mrs Gundy allowed me to stay at her home as a part of her family. When I was a stranger she took me in feed me, gave me a place to lay my head. She loved me as if I was one of her own. I was a broken child wanting to end my life. But this family gave me hope again. I thank God for her love that she shown me and her children showed me that same love.ittle Mary use to cook tbreakfast for everyone. This family have a true legacy of love. Brenda, Verda, Nell, Mary, Lewis, Wayman and Carl I know your lost. I too have and still feel the absence of my dear mother. God will give you strength each day until you reach your time to enter Glory. Your parents taught you how to hold on to God’s unchanging hands. I know because they taught me also. Be blessed . Continue in that legacy of Love… Michelle
