“Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale her infinite variety.” William Shakespeare
By Linda Elissalde
Age does not matter when you are the always youthful and busy Fran Griffin. Fran is that charming lady in charge of SECOND GOING RESALE STORE. This highly successful resale shop gives generously to many deserving recipients. They help Bay Vue Methodist, other peninsula churches, give teachers in High Island and Crystal Beach Schools gift cards. Teachers can use the cards on what ever her/his class needs. Ms. Griffin is also in charge of the Food Truck and helpers who unload Food Truck bounty every Tuesday for those in need.
On March 4, Fran turned 81. Or was it 18? It all depended on how you looked at the candles on her chocolate mousse birthday cake. Fran’s magnificent helpers Jo Evans, Paula Alam, Denise Dickerson, Raquel Silverberg, Tamara Lindner, Janet Leigh Davis, Esther Sarabia along with Pastor Valerie Hudson, Marcel and Linda C Elissalde surprised her on March 3 with pizza, cake and more tasty goodies. What a delightful birthday celebration it was for such a grand lady.
Fran Griffin defies any age definitions. Whether 18 or 81, she shines with beauty, energy and joy. Happy Birthday, Fran!
