We will keep you all in your prayers. Brad and Trinda Segard
To the Griffis and the Bethany community. I just want you all to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I can't even begin to imagine the hurt that you guys are feeling. John was an amazing man that touched many lives as has been proved throughout this week. You guys are a strong Christian network and I know you will be there for one another. Please let me know if there is anything at all that I can do for anyone.
God Bless

If Tomorrow Starts Without Me
If tomorrow start without me, and I'm not there to see If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today While thinking of the many things we didn't get to say. I know how much you love me, I know you 'll miss me too;But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand,That an angel came and called my name, and took me by the hand. And said y place was ready in heaven far above,and that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love.But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye for all my life, I'd always though, I didn't want to die.I had so much to live for, so much left yet to do,, it seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you. I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad. I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday, just even for a while, I'd say good-bye and kiss you, and maybe see you smile.But then I fully realized that this could never be, for emptiness and memories would take the place of me.And when I thought of wordly things, I might miss come tomorrow,I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow.But when I walked through heaven's gates, I felt so much at home, when GOD looked down and smiled at me from His great golden throne, He said,"This is eternity, and all I've promised you; Today your life on earth is past, but here life starts anew. I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last, and since each day's the same, there's no longing for the past. You have been so faithful, so trusting and true,though there were times you did some things you knew you shouldn't do.But you have been forgiven and ow at last you're free. So won't you come and take my hand, and share my life with me?" So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart, for every time you think of me, I'm right here, in your heart.
So Sorry. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
I'm so sorry for your loss! We found out about John's accident through Passion Ministries and your family has been in our prayers since. May your family find strength and comfort in His arms. Your family will continue to be lifted in our prayers. - The Palacios'

I know Mr Griffis only through my children who attend Bethany. I know they will both remember him fondly for both his character and his impact on them as a teacher. John Gates
What an amazing addition Heaven received today. John was one who lived his faith before us and we are better for knowing him. Our prayers are with the family. The Greenback Family

God Bless, The Legg Family (John, Rolanda, Tiffany and Cody)
I knew Mr Griffis only through my three kids who attended Bethany schools. Laci is the only one who had him for a teacher and coach.

In Christian Love,
Brent, Melanie, Koltan, Keaton, and Kailyn Swadley
Our hearts our heavy for you and your family. Your family has always had such a unique and tight bond. We have no doubt that this bond will only get stronger. John was an amazing father. When I would watch him play with his kids, I would laugh at the fact that he was such a "big kid" himself. He was definitely fully immersed in the lives of his children. What an amazing man!! We will all be here for you.

I am so sorry for your loss. I am praying for God to give you great comfort and peace, as well as comfort and peace to all the teens at Bethany Schools who are struggling with God's answers to their prayers. We say "God is so good" when He answers prayer the way we want, but let us all say God is so good today for defeating death on the cross so that Mr. Griffis and all of God's children can be with Him eternally.
The Young Family
From Habakkuk: "Even though the fig trees have no fruit and no grapes grow on the vines, even though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no grain, even though the sheep all die and the cattle stalls are empty, I will STILL be joyful and glad because THE LORD GOD IS MY SAVIOR. The Soveregn Lord gives me strength!" We are on our knees for you, Griffis family.Thank you for an example of a life well lived, a good and faithful servant.
Scott and Lisa Hopkins, Jessica, Jake, and Cade.

Our heart goes out to your family. John was a great coach and teacher. You are all in our prayers. We know we will see him again. 1 Corinthians 15.
Griffis Family,
Our prayers are with you as we all grieve your tremendous loss. Words cannot express how much you have been in our thoughts and prayers over these past several days. We will continue to pray for you! My children have been forever changed as they remained steadfast in their prayers for their teacher, Mr. Griffis. We have all drawn closer to Jesus due to this tragic event. As my young son told me nearly three years ago when my only brother went home to be with Jesus after a year long battle with cancer, "Uncle Tim received the ultimate healing." Mr. Griffis has received the ultimate healing as well. Because of our faith, we do not mourn as those with no hope, we know we will see Mr. Griffis again. All four of our children have had Mr. Griffis as their math teacher. Kori, Kyli, Mikenna & Mitchell want you to know, Mr Griffis made a difference in all the lives he touched. God bless you and comfort you during this difficult time.
In Him,
The Hammond Family
Matthew 5:4 Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted.

Psalm 123
A song for those who go up to Jerusalem to worship the Lord.
1 I look up and pray to you.
Your throne is in heaven.
2 Slaves depend on their masters.
Maids depend on the women they work for.
In the same way, we depend on the Lord our God.
We wait for him to show us his favor.
3 Lord, show us your favor. Show us your favor,
because people have made so much fun of us.
4 We have had to put up with a lot from those who are proud.
They were always laughing at us.
To the Griffis family. We are so sorry for your loss. Our prayers will continue to be with you.
Ed, Glendola and Andy Isaacs
Mr. Griffis was an excellent teacher and coach, he will be greatly missed.
"John is with Jesus" --We are sorry for your loss Saun and the rest of the family. Do you remember that song we used to sing back in the day~
"When we all get to heaven,
what a day of rejoicing that will be,
when we all see Jesus,
we'll sing and shout the victory!"
That thought is comforting to me...hopefully to you guys as well:)
Love and prayers, Dawna
john,
every sunday for the past few years we've watched you sit with your family in church. one by one you'd file into the pew a few rows in front of us. we were always so inspired to see you all sit together. so many times we saw you walk to church together. you were an inspiration to us. i wish we'd told you so. we think these fabulous thoughts about people, but we keep these thoughts to ourselves. we will miss seeing you file in, john. we will miss seeing beautiful saundra on your arm. RIP. I know you will.
I am so truly sorry for your loss. Coach G. was a great teacher and coach, he will be missed. He had such an impact in our school, church and community. We are praying for the family at his difficult time. Let God embrace you and carry you through this.
Love the Trower family - Jason, Jalene, Ashley, John and Caitlin.

God will get you thru just take a little step each day and don't give up. Better days are ahead. You will see John again...Oh what a day That will be...

We will miss you, John. We are here for you, Griffis's. Please let us know if we can do anything for you. We Love You all. God Bless You.
Shawn, Stephanie, McKinley, Kennedy, & Reagan.
My heart is aching for your family. Mr. Griffis exemplified what a man of character looked like. He encouraged me, believed in me, and loved me. What more could I have wanted as a middle schooler? I hope that when I become a teacher I can make an impact in a student's life, just as he has in mine. He was dear to me and I will miss him greatly. I love the Griffis family and I will be praying for each of you.
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of John Griffis. Although I did not know him personally I have heard so many wonderful things about this man and the difference he strived to make in this community. Please know that you and your family are in my prayers.
We are praying for your family continuously!!!! Mr. Griffis was a wonderful teacher! He will be so missed by my son and sooooo many more people! We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Ryan & Kristen Kintner, Austin & Daylin McAnulla
I am so very sorry for your loss. I have been praying for you and will continue to do so as you walk through the tough days ahead.
Griffis Family,
We are praying comfort and strength for you. And for each one of you to be surrounded with love during the days ahead.
God Bless Your Family!
As I read through these comments, the legacy John left to his family, co-workers and former students is amazing, but not surprising. What a great husband, father and friend to many. Legacies are meant to be carried on, as John did from his dad, who has always been a person I have looked up to, and now I know his wife and children will carry on that legacy. I know there are still going to be some tough days ahead, but we serve a great God that will be there to carry you through. Many songs and scripture come to mind, but I know many songs and scripture come to your mind as well, and there is great comfort in those words.
Know that your family will be in our prayers.
We have been praying for you and your family and will continue to do so. The Lord promises that he will never leave you nor forsake you. I am praying that HE will hold you close in His arms. I pray that you will rest in HIM. Much love and prayers to you all.Dan and Carolyn Jaggers
What a day that will be,
When my Jesus I shall see.
When I look upon His Face,
The One that saved me by His Grace.
When He takes me by the hand,
And leads me to The Promised Land,
What a Day, Glorious Day, that will be.
We are so sorry for the earthly loss of your husband and dad. As believers in the resurrection and promises of Jesus Christ, you can celebrate through tears the fact that he is forever with his Lord and Savior. Thanksgiving and Christmas will be so bittersweet and will be marked with heavy hearts but for him these days will be marked by eternal celebration. Our prayers are with your family. Lovingly, the family of Dylan Goracke.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. Our loss is Heavens gain and seeing the outpouring of love for John and the family is just beautiful.
Lori Murray
Grief still has to be worked through. It is like walking through water. Sometimes there are little waves lapping about my feet. Sometimes there is an enormous breaker that knocks me down. Sometimes there is a sudden and fierce squall. But I know that many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it. We are not good about admitting grief, we Americans. It is embarrassing. We turn away, afraid that it might happen to us. But it is part of life, and it has to be gone through.
– Madeleine L’Engle
ABBA, my Father...I cry out to You so quietly and reverently today. For this precious family in their time of need. Oh Daddy, how they need Your touch. How they need to feel Your huge, loving arms around them now. Those children, Your children...So hard for them grasp what has happened. Your Will be done, we prayed...How hard it is for us to understand that You needed John with You now. We must stay here and complete that work that You began in him. Please, give Saundra and her children all the strength necessary to carry on and complete that work. We lift our eyes to the Heavens Lord, our help comes from YOU. The maker of all we can see, Heaven and Earth. Rain down, God...Rain Down Your love! Wash away all the pain...all the tears...Rain Down. We humbly ask all these things of You...In Jesus' Most Holy Name ~Amen
We are so sorry for your loss. Madi loved having Mr Griffis as a coach and teacher. We will continue praying for your family.
Glen, Jenni, Madi and Garrison Groves
We are lifting you all up continually! We are devastated, and heartbroken for your family. John will be greatly missed. We have so many great memories of him...the kids have both told stories today of funny things he said to them, and how he always made them feel so special. We love you all, and pray that the God of All Comfort will wrap His arms around you today.
Love, Tim, Janna, Morgan & Evan Rothwell
From our family to yours, our most sincere, heartfelt condolences. Its obvious from the outpouring of love, support, prayers, and genuine concern from this community that your family is loved, and John will be greatly missed. Please know we will be keeping all of his family, extended family, and numerous friends in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time, and in the days ahead.
Saundra and Children, Marilyn & Jay.
I am so sorry to hear about John's passing. My heart just aches for all of you. You will continue to be in my prayers and thoughts.
Nancy Williams
We did not know John, but we know others that did, & they thought so much of him. As well, he was our grandson's math teacher this year...Austin thought the world of him. Please know that we and many others you don't even know, are continually lifting you up in prayer right now.
May you feel His strong and caring arms about you as you grieve for your husband and daddy.
"My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." ~Psalm 73:26

The Dalman Family
Our hearts are so heavy for you during this time of loss. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. RIP John Griffis RIP!!
Todd, Nancy and Stewart Summers
I remember seeing John last week out walking his dog, and he looked so happy. It's so weird knowing that he's not with us anymore.I didn't get the chance to get to know him well, but even as my old math teacher he touched my life. He always extended the most help he possibly could, and took the time out of every day to tell us all a joke and to make us all smile. I'm glad I got to spend at least a little of his short time on Earth.
I'm praying for the Griffis family with every breath I take. I can only imagine how bad your hearts must ache right now.
Always in our Prayers,
Victoria and Peggy Hart.
You are all in my prayers. Mr. Griffis-as he was known to me-is definitely with Jesus. I have a lot of respect for Mr. Griffis. He made 6th grade more tolerable for my son and my daughter. Both had Mr. Griffis in the sixth grade. Both are heartbroken at his loss. Sometimes life just doesn't make sense. God bless you all.
Michelle Clark (Ciara and Logan)
Thinking of you all tonight. I am so sorry for your loss and know that you will cherish the memories made with John for forever. My prayers are with you through this tough time in your life. ~Jana (Brown) Johnston
Saundra,
We want you and the kids to know that we are so very sad for your loss. Stevie said "math will never be the same without him". He had such an impact on her in just a short time and he is and will be missed by so many. How proud you all must be to be a part of his wonderful legacy.
Stevie wants Racheal to know she loves her very much and her heart is breaking for her. If she just wants to talk, scream or a shoulder to cry on, she's here waiting.
The Boyd family
Steve, Karmen, Stevie & Kambell
Johnny was my best friend growing up, he was and is, and always will be a big part of me. The impact of his life that he has left on all of those of us that have been fortunate enough to know him is beyond measure. Thank you God for letting him be a part of my life.
Ronnie Vaughn

What a privilege it is to have been able to call John Griffis my friend. My heart is breaking for your family tonight. John was such a blessing to everyone. He just radiated kindness, gentleness, integrity, patience, warmth and humor. You all are continually in my prayers. You are all loved.
Laniece Watkins
Watching your sweet family in church was always such a blessing to me.... John seemed ALWAYS to have one of your little ones wrapped lovingly around his neck...such tenderness...it was evident!! God will hold the whole Griffis family now in the very same way, I am sure.
My heart hurts. Love, Darlene Brooks

Saundra and your precious children. We are deeply sorry for your loss of your "husband" and your "daddy".
We have been lifting you all in prayer and will continue to do so, asking God to comfort you, to give you rest, strength, and peace. Our P.J. and Emma say special prayers for your children, whom they have never met, but they want their hurt to get better soon. They are sorry about your "daddy". Hold tight to one another,and may you feel God's arms around you in the coming days and weeks and months.

You also have been in our prayers and we will continue to lift you up, asking for God's grace and peace upon you. Mike said tonight "they are GOOD people". "I think alot of them". Rest tonight and may you find strength in our Heavenly Father in the days to come.

Miss Saundra used to "babysit" our babies on an occasional Friday night, but when we came to pick them up, it was usually John who was holding them and loving every minute. What a great way to remember him! We love you, Saundra, and are so thankful for all the love you and John gave to our girls. It has meant so much to us!
