Myrrh is symbolic of death, having been used to embalm the dead. It represents the sweetness that comes to the heart after it has died. What inexpressible charm seems to encircle some Christians, simply because they carry upon their pure contenance and gentle spirit the imprint of the cross! It is the holy evidence of having died to something that was once proud and strong but is now forever surrendered at the feet of Jesus. Our Kingdom vessel has now arrived home. Mr. Davis, you will be greatly missed. We love you, Anita & TySean

Arthur Davis was a wonderful grandfather. He was my guarantee. He always had an answer, no matter what the question. I will always have the distinct memory of him telling stories,reading the newspaper,and cooking breakfast every morning before I went to work. My soul is at ease because I now have an guardian angel.
