Having witnessed such a beautiful display of love in December, at the wedding of Bishop McGriff and his wife Dr. Hollie, I am saddened by the news on this morning. My prayers are with him, his wife and their family as well as church family.

I received the news this am by way of my mother….the assistant minister of thechurch. There aren’t many people that I can actually call “Great” but he was one of them. You will be missed.

hi my name is sharles lee i am one of the nephews of bishop in it crazy how things happin in such so lil time thanks for every body thats praying for us

I am sadden to hear the news of our friend Bishop McGriff, he to me is a brother of brothers, pastor of pastors and friend to all. He is God’s son. We will miss him dearly as there are few like Bishop McGriff with the kind heart that he has. He always opened the doors of his church to our small congregation for weddings, prayer breakfast and baptisms. Our prayers are with the Body of Christ during this difficult time.

This very sad news. I think the photo of Bishop McGriff with Rev. Jackson is a fitting tribute to the fact that he was fighting for truth and justice literally to the very end. We will continue to pray for his wife, church, and entire family.

Bishop McGriff was an inspiring man who did everything he could to
be of service to his people. He played a large part in making the Memnosyne Foundation Interfaith Service Network what it is today and his life was spent
building bridges between diverse communities and empowering the
disadvanteged within his own. While his loss can never be
replaced, let us all honor him by continuing to serve the Joppa
community and not letting the people be forgotten. May his memory
inspire others to care about making the kind of difference he
sought to make.

We at The Memnosyne Foundation will still be moving forward in our annual support for Walking to Destiny, an interfaith vision Bishop McGriff helped to develop and realize. We will also be naming our Joppa Women’s Entrepreneur Training program after him as he was the community’s greatest advocate!

My thoughts are also with Karen at this time. She will need all
the support everyone in Dallas can give her to keep momentum going towards helping their community. That way his spirit will continue to
inspire us all!

Bishop Mcgriff was a positive impact in the OakCliff Community… I thank him so dearly for all he has done…. Dr. Holley I am deeply sorry for your loss…

Bishop was a very positive inspiration for me and my family. He helped me so much to overcome the adversity I was experiencing and I love him so much and will miss him very much.
