Guest Book

I have so so many fond and comical memories of Mrs. Davis. She was one of my mom's first friends when we moved here. She took me to her home to play with her girls, fed me and treated me like one of her own. She was a classy lady. I learned lots at their home. She will be missed. To Stacy, Robin, Mr. Davis, and the entire family, I am so sorry for your great loss. Much love and prayers, Candace Hargrave Jackson
