Not sure what to say?

Dear Davis Family
I'm not sure if you will remember me, I am the daughter of your neignbors Johnnie & Marie Hunt. My prayers and sympathy are with you during this sad time. May God bless each of you.

When i heard about the death of ms.davis, i could not believe it and to this day i still get teary eyed just to know that the lady that changed my life in high school is no longer here. this lady was not just my teacher, but also my friend. i can still remember the first day i met her. i had just transferred in from another school and my mom walked me to her class. when i got there my mom and ms. davis was so excited to see each other. come to find out that they had grew up in the same church...

Not a day has passed that I have not thought about you and how much of my life I lived with you as one of my very first friends who happened to be a girl. I remember us as kids and I remember how you grew and grew, both spiritually and as a woman. I regret how much of our lives that we didn't share but how it felt so good to hug you everytime we saw each other.

Q,
I sit here as the Holidays are almost over wondering when I will be able to take a whole breath. It has been a labour to make it ever since you went home. I miss you so much my sister and I find it so hard to keep on going without you. But I must 'cause you left me with so much to do.....Teco and the Girls....Mom and Dad.....Tony.....The Gospel Family....Dee and Ray....But you left me with all the ammunition I will need to fight the battle......The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost and so...

I am still in shock to this day and BTW just won't be the same without you. Who is going to holler at the underclassmen and tell them to not come down your hall making all that noise? my plans for my children were for them to be under your guidance so that you could teach them to play music but also to teach them to be respectable adults. I know my mother did so much but I needed some "Deborah Davis tough love". your class opened so many doors for me and I just hate that my car broke down...

May the Davis' family be blessed by the Grace of God!

She will be dearly missed,may God bless and keep the family is my prayer.

There are no words to describe the pain i feel. your passing was just too soon. you were very special and touched our hearts here on earth and now your work is done. I know your in the best place a person could ask for. In heaven with the lord. It was a blessing to say i had you in my life. you will truly be missed Ms. Deborah Ann Davis.
