Not sure what to say?

Dear Davis Family, please know that I have been thinking of you all. I have fond memories of Dr. Davis as Cathy and I were classmates at HRA as well as members of the same ballet company. I remember that first time I ever got up on water skiis was behind on the river behind your house with Dr. Davis at the wheel of the boat and encouraging me. My prayers are with you.

Dear Mrs.Davis & Family,
I was saddened to hear of Dr.Davis passing. I had the pleasure of working for "Dr.D" at Riverside Hospital from 1978 to 1995. It was always a joy to be able to work with him and see his kindness and caring for his patients and the technologists, too. He will be missed. I will be praying for you all during this very tough time.

Dear Nancy and Family,

Jim was my friend. We shared a love of racing and all things with a motor. We battled the leaves each fall. Enjoyed the Indy 500 and the Richmond 250 together. We never tired of reviewing the week in Formula 1, the 24hrs of LeMans, and the World of Rally. Jim was a man I looked up to, admired, and respected for all he had done in that most noble of professions as a doctor. I will miss him forever and as always, he remains in the daily memories of those...

To the Davis family, our deepest sympathy to you. Every time I saw Jim, he reminded me of his dad. My father helped Jim put his first sports car on the road back in W. Va. so many years ago. Jim carried a deep legacy with him all his life, he watched his dad show what a really fine Doctor does with their life. Jim was the tops, a good man who gave everything he had, into everything he did. The entire Smith family, from Rainelle where Jim grew up, thanks Jim for a life well lived, and we...
