To the Davis family; May God bless and comfort you in your time of grief. I just learned of Mrs. Davis' passing and I am so saddened that neither my mother and I knew, because we definitely would have attended her homegoing service. My mother, Mary Yarborough, and Mrs. Davis were the best of friends, and worked side by side for 20 years with the Millie Patrick Children's Choir at QSBC. I will be sharing this sad news with my mother later today, and I'm sure you will hear from her very soon. As for me, I will always remember Mrs. Davis as a kind and caring soul, and one of the mainstays of Queen Street Baptist Church. God bless.

I send my prayers and deepest condolences to the Davis Family. I won't forget Mrs. Davis. She was one of a kind. She made sure that me and my bestfriend, Yolande, got to Sunday school and choir rehearsal. She would always encourage you and scold you too, if needed but it was all done with Love. I will miss her. Rest in Peace. Vicky Kasey-Deans & Barbara Kasey and Family
