Life has a way of introducing people into your life who will be there for you through thick and thin. I am fortunate and grateful to have a large network of friends and family who bring love, happiness, and laughter into my life.
"I have known Griz for over 20 years now, Griz is a warm compassionate person who will always help another in need. Over the years Griz has been involved with many community projects to help others and animals. That says a lot for someone’s character. Griz has undeniably proven her dedication to her work and friendships during the 20 years I have known her as she worked alongside my husband all these years. She is smart, reliable, very organized and fun to be around. I am so lucky she is part of my life! Colleen Jamieson
"Griz and I have been more than neighbors, we have been friends for over 30+ years. She is absolutely a beautiful, loving, generous person. I am truly blessed to have her as my neighbor and friend." Sharon Harris Friend & Neighbor Richardson, TX
"Griz is one of the kindest souls I’ve ever met. I met her through social media for our common interest in our love for animals. She personally went out of her way and camped out in front of a shelter all day and all night to help me rescue my pup Ophelia. I hadn’t even met Griz in person yet and for her to do that for someone she barely even knew or met yet. Her kindness just blew my mind away and she will forever have a place in my heart."
Rik Ortiz
"When I think of Griz, I instantly smile. She plays such a significant role in our beautiful community. We can count on Griz to assist with community events, be there for a neighbor in need, fundraisers for the many organizations that she supports, decorate her home to bring smiles to the neighborhood kids for holidays, and she even has a little “Little Library” that is loved and appreciated by the entire community.
I could go on and on with positive words about Griz. She is just a genuinely loving individual that I don’t just call a neighbor. She is also a friend. Anyone would be blessed to have her in their life. I’m so happy she is in mine. " Kesha Grant Friend & Neighbor Richardson, TX
I met Griz online through mutual friends on social media involved in dog rescue. It has been ten plus years now. Griz is a beautiful person with a heart of gold and a beautiful soul. She is kind and compassionate and genuinely cares for people and animals. She is ready to jump in and help in any situation however she can on a moments notice. She is loyal and someone you know you can always count on no matter what. She is quick to respond and goes above and beyond even with follow up to make sure everything went as planned and check if anymore help is needed. She has helped a community of us save so many lives of dogs in shelters and bad situations needing help as well as helped with my personal dogs. I would not have made it through many difficult situations without Griz. Her help, advice, guidance, calm strength, solution ideas, generosity, etc. has given me the inspiration and strength to not give up hope and keep trying until the problems are solved and the dog is safe. She is an amazing, incredible person and the best friend anyone could ever ask for. I feel very honored and blessed to know her. She has a heart of gold. I look forward to many more years of friendship.
