Josiah Patrick Griffin. Infant son of Timothy & Ginger Griffin, was born March 4th, 2003 St. Paul MN. April 8, 2003 at Fairview University Hospital Minneapolis, MN Josiah was carried into the arms of Jesus. He is now whole and uninhibited in his ability to praise his Maker. He is deeply missed and his life here was cherished – every moment.

Josiah’s short life impacted numerous people, including older sisters: Gabrielle & Hanakah Griffin, (near 3yrs. & 16mo.), both sets of Grandparents: Tom & Peggy Franklin, Charles and Lynn Griffin; all 12 uncles: Andrew Griffin, Thomas Griffin, Samuel Griffin, Nicolas Griffin, Isaac Griffin, Stephen Griffin, Brooks Franklin, Conor Franklin, Logen Franklin, Taylor Franklin, Vaughn Franklin and Landry Franklin; 3 Aunts, Hannah Griffin, Kumari Griffin & Darcy Griffin; Great Grandparents on both sides of the family, second cousins, third cousins, Great Aunts and Uncles, and friends and family in Christ beyond number who stood by this little man in prayer – each day of his life here.

Josiah struggled for life here, now his struggle is over and he is home in the truest sense of the word. We are so happy for him. We will meet him in that great day, praising the Father for his faithful hand and everlasting love.

A memorial service was held at the Bethany Missionary Fellowship of Bloomington MN, 9:30 am Thursday April 10, 2003; Pastor Matthew Hedrick officiating. A family graveside is to be held Saturday April 12th, 2pm at the Union Cemetery of Sedro-Woolley, WA. Memorial service and reception will follow: 3pm at the Northern Peaks Christian Fellowship of Sedro-Woolley, WA; Pastor Eric Spangler officiating.

...whenever you think of Josiah, let him lead you to Jesus...

Thank you for your continued love and faithful prayers

Timothy & Ginger, Gabrielle & Hanakah
