I love you Mama, I already miss you life will never be the same without your guidance. You were so good to me and Bryar, we love you forever.
Mama was a very outspoken, funny woman who could Cary her own. I am so grateful to have been a friend and one she called part of her family. You truly will not be forgotten and you will definitely be missed. Until we meet again 💕
Kathy was like a second mother to me as a kiddo! I grew up at the Lira/Griffin house. Besides Kathy’s “naughty nursery rhimes” I can vividly remember her making me & Angela breakfast, specifically pancakes or cream of chicken over a slice of bread & swimming in Phyllis’s pool nextdoor. Anytime we were acting up she’d just say “ANGELA” in a stern voice & we both knew what she meant. Too many memories to share here, but shr will be deeply missed by everyone who knew her.
