Ms. Davis, you might not remember me but I've met you on several different occasions many many years ago while hanging with your daughter Loretta. I didn't get a chance to know you but you impressed me as one of the sweetest women. I could see the love and care you showed toward your daughter and grandson and i can see what type of daughter and person Loretta is and I know in my heart she had to have a wonderful mother like you. May you rest in peace.

If there were one million languages, there would not be enough words to discribe my undying love for you. You made me who i am today and to you ill forever being in debt to god for making you undoubtably the best granmother that ever existed. If you onl knew what i would give to have you back for one second. Your memory and legacy still lives on like the love you gave us. The tears that soak my pillow will never compare to the tears of joy i have remembering the uncomparable times we shared. I wont talk your head off lol but hug my big-daddy for me and tell my daddy i love him and make sure you open the gates for me. I love you ALWAYS!!!! Love Corey

It's so hard to believe that nine years have so swiftly passed by. There are days that I want to tell you something, and remember you're not here. I miss you very much. I feel honored to have had you for a mother. You always made me proud to be your daughter. Whenever anyone spoke of you they always had good things to say. You will live in my heart forever. You always talked about your "Jesus" and I know you are finally with him and happy.
Your daughter

I miss you more than you will probably ever know. I know we didn't get to spend a lot of time together but I cherish the times we did share. Like the time you took me, Corey, and Saran to the movies. I was so excited because I got to spend the day with you. I still have the movie stub from that day. Do you remember the time we went to that restaurant and Aerrian took a grape off your plate? You being Ganny, politely replied by saying " Suga that's Ganny's grapes, you can't be taking Ganny's grapes like that." Oh how I miss your way with words. There was not one mean bone in your body. I will never meet a person like you. When I think about you, I think about your smile, your warmth, and your spirit. That's what keeps me going. You are truly, truly missed down here. Me and Corey talk about you all the time. Love you always and forever, your granddaughter<3

My heart still aches for you. I miss you so much. Me and Wuss talk about you every day. They say, time heals all wounds, I wonder when. I love you, your daughter.
