I did not know Mrs. Davis well, but I am lucky enough to have her son Artie for a brother-in-law. By knowing his kindness, thoughtfulness, and dedication to family, I know that Mrs. Davis was a wonderful woman. My thoughts are with you this difficult day. May your warm memories sustain you and lighten your load. Know that you are in our thoughts. We hope that knowing that others love and care about you will give you strength.
