Summary

Florence Griffith Joyner was remembered today in Orange County California. Griffith Joyner, known to the world as ``FloJo'', died suddenly Monday at the age of 38. At her funeral today in Lake Forest, California, about 15-hundred mourners came to say goodbye, including many in the Olympic world such as Bruce Jenner, Gail Devers and Kevin Young. Many who spoke at the funeral found themselves defending Griffith Joyner in her death. Accusations have resurfaced that she'd used banned drugs, something the runner denied. Kersee called those accusations ``jealous'' and ``venomous'' words that won't hurt Griffith Joyner anymore. Griffith Joyner was a triple-gold medal winner in the 1988 Seoul (sohl) Olympics.
