Dr. Davis was the only teacher that made math fun and understandable. He was a wonderful teacher and person. I truly appreciated him when I attended BRHS. I am very sorry for your loss. I know that he will be greatly missed by all. The world was a better place because of his presence. He touched many lives. Sincerely, Zana Hughes Tinker, former BRHS student.

Daddy:

In Life I loved you dearly
In death I love you still
In my heart you hold a place
That no one could ever fill

It broke my heart to lose you
But you didn't go alone
For part of me went with you
The day God took you home

Things will never be the same
Although it hurts so bad
I will smile whenever I hear your name
And be proud you were my Dad.

Thank you for being the BEST DAD EVER!
See you when I get there. I love you Daddy - Rita
