The Black Gospel Blog extends its deepest sympathies to I AM Magazine’s Publisher Jerry Griffis (left) on the loss of his mother, Ruth.

According to Jerry, Ruth Griffis (below) lived for a long time in Chicago and worked in a family owned restaurant on the west side. She also worked many years in Minneapolis at Minneapolis Crisis Nursery, where her love for babies was clearly shown.
