GoFundMe Link Set Up to Assist, Grieving Family After Devastating Action Taken Against Young Family Member in Knoxville, PA
KNOXVILLE, PA – A GoFundMe link has been set up to assist the family of 19-year-old Layanah Griffin of Knoxville, PA., whose life was tragically taken by someone she loved.
The following was written by family member Gerald Griffin –
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.
If you wish to support the family of Layanah Griffin just click on the following GoFundMe link and make a donation of any amount;
September was yet again a nice summer weather month. We missed the prolonged wet rain events along the east coast. Morning temperatures were mainly in the 40’s and 50’s. A few 60’s edged in on a few mornings. Afternoon readings were in the 60s and mid 70’s . We had 25 foggy mornings and three thunderstorms. The average high temperature for September is 69 degrees and the average low is 45.
Average monthly rainfall is 4.13″ This year we received 3.95″ Last year the reading was 5.99″
Pine Creek is looking good and of course the lawn tractors are roaring away full force. Perhaps the lawns will be mowed now until Christmas. Do you remember when we stopped mowing on Labor Day? Well have a good Fall. The leaves are turning very slowly and will not be as colorful this year. Keep your snow shovel and blade for the tractor at the ready.

This year’s Fall Antique Show & Sawmill Run will be held on Saturday, October 7th and Sunday, October 8th. Northern Pennsylvania typically reaches peak fall foliage conditions around this time so the forests surrounding the museum will (hopefully) be decked in rich and beautiful colors.
The Antique Show features multiple antique vendors who will be selling their wares in the museum program room. Our vendors have a little bit of everything, including antique tools, vintage clothing, collectible coins, glassware, books, and furniture. Vendors open 9am-5pm Saturday and 9am-3pm Sunday.
Food and beverages will be available for purchase. No ATM is available on site so plan your visit accordingly.
Outside, the museum grounds will come alive with historic trade demonstrations. On Saturday 10/7 (ONLY) the engines of our steam-powered circular sawmill will be running from 10 AM to 3 PM. Other demonstrations will be happening over both days of the event at the birch still, lumber camp kitchen, blacksmith shop, and the Eastern Loggers model railroad display.
It’s a great time to visit the museum. Hope to see you there!

As you all likely already know, my aged brain doesn’t retain like it once did so I’m sending this email to cover all bases and make sure you all know that Goodies For Our Troops will be CLOSED all next week of Oct. 2nd.
We plan to hopefully reopen on Monday, Oct. 9th. If that has to change, I’ll let you know. If you don’t hear from me, we’ll go back with the flow then.
Hope you all are getting a chance to enjoy these (finally) sunshiny days of Autumn!
Always, thank you for all you do all the time for our Heroes, Goodies For Our Troops, and me!
Love, Hugs, and God Bless ~
