Sending my deepest sympathy to Beverly and the Davis family. Whenever I think of Langston, I think about what a kind and warm spirit he had. We were cousins, but never kept in very close contact. Nevertheless, there was always that family love present and understood in spirit. Tammy Hawley-daughter of Vera Mae Davis.

Dear Beverly and Family,

I am so sad to hear of Langston's passing. I spoke to him a while ago and he sounded good. Langston was one of the kindest men I ever knew. Working with him and your children on Construction was always enjoyable even though there is always problems in our line of work. He was always very fair to all parties involved. May he rest in peace with his parents and Jesus. God bless you Lanston Jr. and your beautiful daughters.
