Dear Friend and the entire Davis family,
It is difficult to see your friend hurt at such a loss, but it brings comfort knowing that this world is not our eternal home. God is so gracious that he allowed Mrs. Davis to share life here and this world is better because of her.
The sweet fragrance of her life will linger. Prayers for your strength will continue. We love you
