Dear Bill, Wendy, and Chuck.... I am so sorry to hear of your dear mother's passing. It is so hard for me to express the sadness I feel for you, as I am going through this myself, as having lost my dad just two weeks ago. I hope you can take comfort in the happy memories you have of your mother, and to lean on family and friends in your time of sorrow. I am sure your mother is at peace. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help at this time. I apologize for not being at the funeral home, as I wanted to be there and pay my respects, but didn't know the dates and times until it was too late.

To Ed, I am so sorry for your loss and hopefully you can take comfort from your family and friends, and the special memories you have with Aunt Deanna. Take care.

Honestly, she was a person like no other. My Granadma was a person I knew I could count on. She took care of us all and just wanted us to be happy. She would want us to remember her in that was as well. Now she will be able to watch over all of us...Im so glad I got to spend the summer with her I learned so much about her and from her. I feel she is at peace and would want us to feel that way as well. She believed that when it was her time there was no escaping it, this was her time. I love her very much and will be celebrating her life for the rest of mine.

These past few days have been focused on Dee Davis and the person she was. The most vivid in my mind was her eyes; they seem to have had a direct pathway to her heart. You could see the strength, kindness love, caring and generosity. She gave so much of herself to others; most of her being was directed towards the children she loved so much.

Stop for a moment, close your eyes and see hers, you will find comfort, peace and feel God's hands on your heavy shoulders. Thanks Dee for welcoming my family into your home and heart. You will always be remembered and cherished by your grandchildren.

We were all fortunate to have known such a loving, caring woman and that is what we must remember now. She always warned us that she would be back to "haunt" us, and i look forward to that!
