It is with great sadness we share that on September 29th, 2023, My sister's 19 year old daughter Layanah Irene Griffin was taken by the hands of another. She leaves behind a huge family including 2 younger brothers.

For reasons beyond our understanding, someone she had placed her trust in and loved ripped her away from this world. We are utterly devastated by the news, and we are left with many questions that may go unanswered. We cannot fathom how anyone could go through with such a horrific act on such a kind and caring soul.

Layanah was a student at Mansfield University. She was the life of any room. Her smile , her giggle, her love for everyone but herself was never dismissed. She had a passion for life, the voice of an angel, the hands of an artist, and a heart too big for this world. We will never forget the joy or beautiful memories she left with us.

We humbly ask family, friends, and our community for your support. Your financial donations will help cover funeral costs, movers, and work missed during this difficult time. No amount is too small. We thank you in advance for your thoughts, prayers, and donations as we help my sister and her boys normalize their lives as much as possible, with the loss of Layanah.

All Memorial arrangements can be found at the Service Information . while we are still processing, We can only find comfort in knowing that Layanah is resting in the arms of the Lord. Please keep the entire family in your prayers through this unimaginable time.

Thank you, and God Bless
