Laura, Rick, Linda, and Ralph,
Lisa and I are remembering you and the entire family as you grieve the absence of your mother. Dee and Will were gracious in their welcome of us when I joined the Beargrass staff in 1991. Their marriage companionship was a model for us all and we continue to be blessed by their example and our memories of them. Make space for grief and laughter as you celebrate your mother's life.
Grateful to have known Dee and Will.
Peace,
Rev. Michael and Rev. Dr. Lisa W. Davison

Ralph, Rick, Laura, and Linda,
So sorry to hear of your mother's passing. She was a kind and gentle lady. I know you will be missing her dearly. Now she is with your dad and they are waiting for us all at the "Grand Reunion".
May God comfort your hearts during this time of loss and grief.
In Sympathy,
