Wesley L. Griffin

Aunt Wesley was a SIL, friend and genuine sweetheart. I always looked forward to visiting her in Battle Creek, Woodbury when I visited Claude & Denise in Battle Creek; and Nicki and her kids in MN. I always made sure to spend time with Aunt Wesley who always delighted in making our visit joyful. On occasion, I'd surprise Aunt Wesley with a call just to say hello...like I was going to do the morning I got word of her passing. Aunt Wesley you will surely be missed but I know we will meet again in Glory. Rest well Auntie. Rest well. Peace & Love, Michelle Chisley, Capitol Heights, MD

I was saddened to hear of Aunt Wesley's sudden passing last week, but it also made me realize how connected she was to many "firsts" in my life. Getting my ears pierced at age nine - she did it with a sewing needle and ice cubes; buying my first car - my sis and I bought her white Gran Prix; and introducing me to Pistachio ice cream, which has been my lifelong favorite. Family get-togethers were always a blast with Auntie and her endless array of games. My favorites were the "White Elephant" sales! But the most vivid memories of Auntie involve Easter and the Easter program at church. I always seemed to get one of the longest, most difficult poems, and I was absolutely sure Auntie didn't like me until after the program when she'd hugged me and say, "See? I knew who to give that one to." It still makes me smile, and I know it would make her smile to know I haven't shut up since! Rest in peace, Auntie, and thank you. - Felicia Welch-Reevers, Tucson, Arizona

Aunt Wesley, Miss you and Love you very much. The Perry Family

I was around 12 years old when aunt Wesley would come pick me up on Saturdays. Sometimes we would go get something to eat or go shopping but we always ended up and her apartment for me to earn some money. Aunt Wesley was a secretary and Kellogg's and was always smartly dressed from her jewelry to her shoes. My job was to put everything back in place after her week of work, sometimes i would come across a piece of jewelry that i really liked and she would give it to me. She also taught me how to make pound cake on one of those Saturday's. Love you, your niece, Edith Welch.

Rest peacefully Aunt Wesley you've earned your rest. Elder Timothy O. Sheppard Gainesville, Ga

To all of us who knew Ms. Wesley, she was a true friend of God. She loved her church and was an active member. I am so glad that I had the pleasure of talking with her just a day before she passed. She was so happy and grateful to God. Now she is with Him in Paradise.

Aunt Wesley, I love you so much and I will miss you dearly. I remember when we were at my Dear Granny's (Luci's) Celebration of Life Services and you admired the shoes I had on and I took them off and gave them to you, You were so happy, and to see that Beautiful smile on your face made all worth it. Rest in Heaven Aunt Wesley.....

My Aunt Wesley was a warrior for God Almighty. Like many of us she faced her physical and emotional challenges which can leave physical and mental scars. However, she never allowed them to hold her for long. She would persevere regardless of the odds sit before her. For the race is not given to the swift nor the battle to the strong...but to those who endures to the end (Ecc 9:11). Casting Crowns wrote a song, titled , "Scars in Heaven" to remind us all that the only scars in heaven which we will endure and adore will be seen on the hands of our Lord and Savor hands which are holding you now. Aunt Wesley your family and friends will miss you, yet we will see you again. Love Gwenie

Wesley was such a special person and was loved by all at First United Methodist in Warner Robins. She was a blessing to us all. A true servant of God.

What a beautiful and exemplary life Ms. Wesley Griffin lived. There's no doubt she will be sorely missed by her family, friends and loved ones. My sincere condolences to the family. Rest in heavenly peace, Ms. Griffin. Ruthie Mitchell

Wesley always called me her "Little Angel". I will miss her calls and cards. Love you forever and always, Sis.

Auntie I'll always remember you as the planner of the family reunion events, from plays, choir, dance off you were the one that kept up laughing. You will be missed. Rest Auntie in Jesus Arms Your niece Phyllis

Wesley became my "chocolate sister" from the moment we met in Battle Creek. Susanne and I were leading the youth of our Milwaukee area UM Church, and Wesley was the first at Washington Heights to sweep all of us into her life. All the while we were there and for decades after whether in MI, WI, AL, or MN, we regularly visited in each others' homes, exchanged gifts, cards, letters, emails and long phone calls sharing our joys, sorrows and faith in countless ways. Faith in a loving God was our centerpoint. Wesley's infectious laugh, deep soul, full life and above all powerful faith are embedded in us. Her spirit lives in each member of this family!

Bill, Susanne, David and Jackie Gay, Alissa, Bradd, Darren and Zach Mosal.

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
