Wes Griffin

Von and I married straight out of high school.
we shared our lives for 41 years before she died suddenly on Nov 12 2010.
I find that at times I still cannot believe that she is gone forever.
She loved her family so much and the last words she spoke to me was "I love you Wes". Little did I know that would be the last time I would hear her voice or see her as she looked.
God knows show much I loved and adored that woman but just as important, she knew. I told her often and she told me often.
She is buired at Darwin cemetery next to her hero in life, Her Daddy. He was the man that she measured all other men by..............I am sure that she would have wanted me to be more like him.......but she loved me and I loved her. We fought through life's ups and downs and somehow managed to stay together and in love. Maybe because we had more in common than we ever realized.
I suppose that I will always measure other women by the same standard she used with her Daddy......in fact I have always compaired other women to Von. She was always THE GIRL for me.......in life and now in death, I will always cherish her..........her memory is burned in my mind and in my soul.
From age 18 to almost 60 she was my light.......now my light is gone and I have grown old. I wanted to grow old with her. Of course I figured that I would go first and that she would be the one left to deal with life's issues...........She was wonderful.
Rest in Pease Dear Von, I LOVE YOU.
