Mrs. Kitty, Deborah, Edward Jr., Patricia & family members,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Mr. Davis was a kind person that I am sure will be missed very much!
Deborah & Edward Jr, I remember coming to your house to play when we were young children and your daddy was always nice.
I pray that you will seek God for comfort during this sorrowful time.
Even though he is gone physically...his spirit will always be with each one of you!
May the grace...
