Linda, Erik, and family- we have fond memories of chatting with your Dad after service on Sunday Mornings at Christ Church. He was a wonderful, kind, and intelligent man, and his love for Michigan State football was infectious. Your three boys brought him so much joy. May he Rest In Peace with his Heavenly Father.
Dear Uncle Norm – I will remember you as a favorite uncle always. Thanks for all you did for me as a kid. Aunt Evie and cousins Bob, Bill, Patti and Linda – you are always in our hearts. Much love, Chuck Griffeth & Kimber Billow
I am saddened at this news but also rejoice at knowing we will meet again! The Griffiths were such a strong influence in our upbringing in our church family at LaGrange! I am sorry for the family’s loss and will be praying for Gods comfort at this time!
Dear sweet Griffeth family. My heart is breaking for you, but I am also rejoicing with you in the homegoing of Norm. I have such wonderful memories all of you through my high school years with your family. Please be assured of my mom’s and my prayers for your entire family during this difficult time in your lives. I’m so sorry for your loss.
My goodness the entire Hovey family ( Faith Hope & Joy and Mrs Virginia Hovey ) send their love and prayers for the Griffith family ! Norm was a hard worker and faithful to his family very often attend church and grew in his faith! Hugs to all – your father and husband was a real gentleman .
Dear Aunt Evie and family, love you all and love him. I will remember him as the one who gave me my childhood nickname of Sam when I started to put an extra hump on the r in Sarah while showing him I could write my name. He always made me laugh and was such a tease. Loved him “all to crazy”. So thankful Libby and I got to be with you both during her move to Oregon.
Love to you all,
Sarah Griffeth Couture
Norm was always a great person. I remember him from Plymouth Place when he would visit his mother-in-law. Prayers to his family and friends.
