Not sure what to say?

We all still miss you, Grandma, but can feel you when you are reminding us to write thank you notes, not to use the Lord's name in vain and when we ALL KNOW we know the right answer and if you don't listen, we will tap our glasses on our knees .
We miss all 4 of the Striping girls and know that you, Aunt Bettye, and Aunt Margaret welcomed Aunt Celia and that the Four of you are together forever now.
We love you!

I have fond memories of Joyce Davis and Phil Davis at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston where I was a student from 1966 to 1970 and an intern and resident until 1975 in otolaryngology. Being the only Aggie in the class of 1970, I was particularly interested in Joyce and Phil after they left Baylor and became leaders and teachers at Texas A+M's new medical school. Intelligence, leadership, enthusiasm and compassion come to mind as I recall Joyce during those formative years.

I am saddened by the news of Dr. Joyce Davis' death. She had a significant impact in my medical education. In addition to attending her excellent pathology lectures to our class at Baylor Med, I did a summer pathology project with her between my Sophomore and Junior years in 1965. She was so supportive, a great mentor from whom I learned a great deal. Throughout my medical career in OB/Gyn I continued to value the importance of pathology and tried to review slides whenever possible on my...

My sincere condolences to Dr. Davis' husband and extended family. As a female Baylor medical student (1 of 4 women in our Class of '66), I was inspired and heartened by Dr. Davis' energy and excellent teaching, and I am so very grateful for her serving as a role model in my early years. And as I read her life's accomplishments, I continue to be inspired!

I had the good fortune to do a pathology elective prior to starting freshman year in 1963. Dr. Davis was not my supervisor but I grew to learn much from her and to respect her greatly just from attendance at noontime path conferences in the autopsy suite. She and Dr. Phil were topnotch and always kind to students. May she rest in peace and may the family be comforted in their grief.

Dear Dr. Davis :
I will always appreciate having had the opportunity of being taught both by you and Dr. Joyce as a student in the Baylor class of. 1962. I send my sympathy and warmest best wishes. Don

Dear Phil: I do not put down the Thankfulness, Gratefulness and Pride in knowing both you and Joyce. Your legacy promotes the true purpose of Life: Service in perpetuity.

I was fortunate to have Joyce Davis teach me and the members of our Baylor College of Medicine class of 1968. She was a perfect model of the involved, committed and highly effective teacher. As a hematologist, I've never lost my appreciation of the power of the microscope in medical practice and have little doubt that she influenced my choice of medical subspecialty. I will be forever thankful for the blessings she gave us. God bless her and her family to whom I send most sincere...

My second mother. I love you and will see you and Bettye again. Thomas King Jr.
