To the Davis family, I'm so sorry to hear about Junior. Although it's been a long time since we'd seen one another I'll never forget how he used to pick on Angie, Kim and myself when we were little. It is a great lost to all that love him and he will definitely be missed. Davis family please know that he's in a much better place and I'm sure he's smiling down on us all. Rest In Peace Junior

After the clouds, the sunshine,
after the winter, the spring,
after the shower, the rainbow, for life is a changeable thing.

After the night, the morning,
bidding all darkness cease,
after life's cares and sorrows,
the comfort and sweetness of peace.

Rest In Peace Archie(AD)

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Davis Family

May God watch and bless the Davis family. I pray that God especially watches over his children. Let the memory of their dad always stay alive. Let us not mourn the life he didn't get a chance to live but celebrate the life that he did. God is taking care of him now. I'll continue to pray for his family especially his children.

My Dearest Sister Angela,

With the Lord
Yes, we are fully confident, and we would rather be away from these bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord. 2 Corinthians 5:8

Angela,
NEVER BE SELFISH WITH THE LORD......The Lord has an awesome plan for Archie. Archie time has expired with us and he’s now at PEACE. He’s no longer living in HELL as we are today. When we’re born into this HELL-OF-A-WORLD, we’re born with an expiration date and GOD has NO DISCRIMINATION on his calling......I know your heart HEAVENLY ACHES over the absence of your brother as well as for his children. Embrace his children in prayer and give them the spiritual nourishment that GOD has given you to love your brother and I PROMISE YOU everything will be alright.

Keeping you and your family lifted in prayer.

p.s.
Archie, as you approach those pearly gates please tell Mr. Ronald Ford “I love and miss him dearly!”

Love Always,
