To the Davis family!
May God continue to bless you during the lost of your love one. I am truly saddened. However,I do believe that he is in a much better place now. I have been knowing Roservelt (Bear)for a very long time as a boy growing up and I thank God for the knowledge that he had and that he was able to share it with me and whom he came in contact with.
Family, be encourage and always look to the hill from which our health and strength cometh from.
May God bless you!
