My sincerest condolences Griffin Family. The death of a loved one is extremely painful. It’s unfair and takes away the people we love the most. Please know that during such a difficult time, you are not alone. Our father and God Jehovah is with you and your family. Psalm 34:18 says “[He] is close to the broken-hearted.” Know that he yearns to bring them back to life (Job 14:15). And soon he will bring a resurrection, John 5:28,29 says “Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.” May this promise give you hope and endurance to face the future with confidence. 

Alia had just started working with my shepherd, Cruz. My heart is truly broken for her family & friends. 

I don't even know what to say. I'm so sorry for your loss.

 We are so sorry to hear of Alia's tragic passing.  It was an honor to help care for Sargent and Major. It was very clear that Alia loved them both and would do anything to keep them happy and healthy. If you need anything or we can help in any way with her boys, please call us.

Our hearts go out to you.

I am heart broken to hear of Alia’s passing. She was such a beautiful woman, with an infectious laugh and smile. A true light. I share many good memories with her, and she has been on my mind constantly since I heard of this tragedy. May her soul rest in peace, I will continue to pray to and for her. 

I was so sad when I heard the news of Alia's passing.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this very difficult time.

I wish I could go back in time. Never have I had someone that I could be myself with like I could with my friend Alia. She made me laugh harder than anyone else ever has. Deeply caring, talented, hilarious, and adventurous girl that the world will never be the same without. I will always cherish the time that we had together. I have more memories with her than anyone else back home. When I look back in my mind throughout elementary school, middle school, high school...my most vivid memories are with her and everything else seems to be a blur. I am so grateful to be able to know her as well as I did. She is the closest thing I ever had to a sister.  We were inseparable for a long time. I would give anything, anything just to talk to her and hug her and tell her I love her one more time. Just to go back in time and go to the movies again, go skateboarding, having sleepovers every weekend, exploring around town, pretending we were mermaids in the pool, watching scary movies, eating good food, making up silly dances, jumping on the trampoline, going camping, shopping, celebrating holidays and birthdays, planning the future and all the things we were going to do together "when we grow up"...I know you are in a better place, where you are free to laugh harder than you ever did, dance, sing, and paint all the beautiful things you had in your heart to create and can go on infinite adventures. I love you Alia, and I cannot wait to see you again one day.
