To L.D.'s family, on behalf of the Davis family, we express our sincere condolences and prayers of comfort. We are sadden to hear the news of his passing but away from the body is being home with God. We remember his kindness and love in our family when we were able to attend church with him. To Ella B, we are still grateful for your love and support during the illness and death of our sister, Paulette Davis in 2008 and wish we were able to be there with you, but due to illness at this time, we cannot. Our love will still surround you. Blessings and love to all. Glenda Davis Sims
