Mary "Fat Mama" Davis was one of 7 sisters that I met and became friends with in 1976 when we first moved to Memphis and after almost 49 years we're still friends. I loved her then and I still love her even in death. She is going to be truly missed by many but her memories will continue to live on. I pray that God gives the family strength and understanding through this devistating time. Rest in love my friend until we meet again
