Inside Mesa

I recently learned that sadly, Councilmember Rex Griswold’s mother passed away without pain on Friday, July 28, at the age of 85 in Palm Springs, CA - he was by her side.Out of respect to him and his family I waited to post this blog - giving this family and loved ones an opportunity to grieve privately; with all the respect, dignity, and honor this mother and family deserves.I did not know her. I do know Mesa’s beloved Councilmember Griswold and have met family members. Knowing him - tells me much more about the mother that raised and loved her children. She must have had the love of God in her heart, as I see those qualities and characteristics of a Christian in her son. She must have been kind, gentle, understanding, truthful, full of grace, merciful, humble, willing to serve those around her while abiding in hope, faith, and love - found in the public servant we know as her son. There are many that knew her, those that did not, that will grieve with this family. I along with many are in sorrow for the loss of this precious mother - a mother who filled the lives of many - who has been a daughter, wife, grandmother, aunt, sister, companion, friend….and more. My prayers and thoughts to the family in this time… -may her love and life remembered help those she left behind to soothe these days ahead -may her memories and goodness sustain family and friends always-may her spirit and cherished life be seen in the lives of her loved ones-may everlasting peace remain, knowing she has reached her perfect place and destination, that heavenly home our hope and glory.Respectfully and prayerfully, with deepest sympathies to Councilman Rex Griswold and family.Sharon Corea
