Mrs. Davis was my high school teacher and a great inspiration to me. One of my favorite teachers. She was a sweet woman who loved what she did.

I met Marquita at Westside and always appreciated her servants heart. After leaving the church, she would still call on me for coffee supplies and we would always chit chat about life and God's direction for our life's .... I learned to love her heart. I will sure miss seeing her name come across my work PC.
Rest In Peace Marquita My Friend In Christ !!
