Sunrise: 04/23/1993 Sunset: 04/18/2019 "I just wanna be pleasant to others no matter how I feel..." Chavier J. Griffin To have touched so many lives in so little time, bears testament to the fact that your purpose was divine. Surely, God, in his grace and mercy, summoned you here, to counsel and comfort others, in the midst of heartaches and tears. Chavier was such a bright and joyous light to all who knew her. She had a unique ability to make all of her friends feel as though they were special, which they were and are. Even from the time that she was full of energy, hope, joy, love and maturity. Her parents recount a story, of how once when Chavier was three years old, they were driving along the road, and she began singing the gospel song called: “Going up Yonder”, by singer Tramaine Hawkins. Chavier sang the song so strong and passionately that her mother was afraid that the Lord would soon take her daughter to heaven to be with him, so much so, that she told Chavier not to sing that particular song anymore. Her mother prayed and pleaded with God not to take her, and the Lord answered her prayer and let Chavier’s parents and friends enjoy her presence for nearly twenty-three more years. Chavier Jamonte' Griffin was always willing to help anyone who was in need- day or night. Her words and actions were, undoubtedly, sincere, comforting, and mixed with love, wisdom and profound understanding. Chavier meant so much to so many people, who meant so much to her. She was, indeed, very beautiful-inside and out. She was, also, highly-intelligent, sensitive, hard-working, inspiring, dependable and strong, Chavier will always live in our hearts. Dear Chavier, you are truly loved and missed. The pain of losing you, hurts as never before. Your wonderful sprit, which no one could resist, is now, in the presence of God, forever more.

Where I'm going, soon If anybody ask you Where I'm going Where I'm going soon I'm goin' up yonder I'm goin' up yonder I'm goin' up yonder To be with my Lord I can take the pain The heartaches they bring The comfort in knowing I'll soon be gone As God gives me grace I'll run this race Until I see my Savior Face to face I'm goin' up yonder I'm goin' up yonder I'm goin' up yonder To be with my Lord I'm goin' up yonder I'm goin' up yonder I'm goin' up yonder To be with my Lord Songwriters: Charles Creath Goin' Up Yonder lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group, BMG Rights Management
