I'm trying harder to get to Heaven, so I can talk to Mommia again. Definitely the warmest lady I have ever known. I really love and respect this dear friend.

Momma was the most genuine kind and gentle person i ever knew in my life. I felt like I would melt into a puddle as I hurried each tag sale to see her before I started hunting thru the sale. God made a few only of special people like her. Some people enjoy their life by going on a cruise, going hunting or fishing, or other spectacular events. Not me...... I could sit all day and talk to all kind momma's like her. My life was blessed and I will treasure my memories of Momma all my life and pray I make it to Heaven to once again love this lady.

It's hard to sum up what I am feeling in just a few sentences. I will always remember her beautiful, shining face, gracious words, positive attitude and warm spirit. She brightened my day each and every time I saw her. She will be Truly Missed. Please know Carole, that you have my deepest sympathy and that you and your family will remain in my thought and prayers. Know that we will see her again.

Please know that we will keep the Davison family in our prayers. Anyone with the pleasure of meeting Margery had to be captivated by her eternal smile, her effervescent personality, and her love for the Lord. They don't come any better than she did. Heaven's gain is our loss.

To Don, Nancy, Cathy, Carole; Susie, Ann, Homer, Bill: grands, and great-grands -
I am so sorry to learn of the loss of your wonderful mother and grandma. I so wish I could have seen her! She'll always be with you. I have gotten a sense that she will be helpful to me with some needed healing, in her capacity as a prayer warrior. Best wishes.

Faithful!!! This woman of God, kind-hearted, putting all others before herself, is faithful. I have many great memories of Mrs. Davison from our 6 years serving at Life Tabernacle (1984-1990). This entire family was such a huge part of those beginning years of our marriage and ministry. One of my favorite stories was when she asked Brad to put a few of the boys, that she was tutoring from Vietnam, on his basketball team. We have epic stories from that team! During church pot-lucks I always wanted to know what Mrs. Davison made...I was eating that! Amazing woman with an amazing legacy! Big hugs to the family from the Howard Home. Brad and Denise Howard

Aunt Margie was wonderful, a beautiful Christian Woman. She was a true prayer warrior and I have always thanked the Lord for the many prayers she prayed for me and my family.. I know her prayers for me were heard by the Lord, for He has worked many miracles for me. Now, when we all get to heaven what a wonderful day of rejoicing that will be...We will really have a big family reunion then... I send my love to all the family..

She had the gift of making everyone feel a part of the family. With a lilt that I loved hearing on the phone before we ever met in person. We chatted effortlessly upon first meeting in your family's living room; relaxed enough that my petting a dog (Tasha - that I didn't know disliked strangers) even turned out OK. Thursday night dinners were the best, & all who were invited will never forget her hospitality, which continued forever, once she knew you. Only good memories of this special lady. David & I send our deepest condolences & wishes for peace, comfort, & strength, to all of you during this difficult time.
