My Prayer for the Smith Family
Family is the most precious gift God has given us, equal to life itself. The Smith family is highly favored, because you share the presence of your extraordinary spirited loved one forever and ever.
Now, that Heaven and the Smith family has "Gloria Davis," one of the most beautiful Angels working diligently on your behalf, your soul will prosper and have peace. In the name of Jesus. Thank you Father God.
No matter what, Trust God and always be Blessed.

I am so sorry to hear about Ms Gloria's Passing. She was a Great Lady!! I will truly miss her laugh! I loved to go talk to her when she was in the office. My last memory of her was in her hospital room sitting with her holding her hand and praying. She will be missed by everyone.

We, the members of the 1966 GW Carver High School Class of Newport News, Virginia, would like to express our utmost sympathy to Gloria’s family. She will always be a part of our family because she walked the halls with us, laughed with us, went to class with us, shared friendships with us and graduated with us in 1966. We feel the lost in our family, too, because we have lost another classmate, a friend. This relationship that binds us started over 50 years ago, so her memory will remain in our hearts.

My heart is heavy for you, since I too have lost my mother. It's never easy to say goodbye, but she was tired and her body was weak. Hold on to the memories that you share of her in your heart, they will help you along the way. The pain will ease as the days move on. May God grant you the peace that you need right now.
