I am so very sorry for the loss of Mrs. Davis. I met her this past summer at the pool, where my grandson was taking swimming lessons. She and I just got to talking, and I looked forward to seeing her each morning as Justin and Breanna had their lesson. Mrs. Davis impressed me with the love and dedication she showed for her dear grandchildren. Please accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of your beloved wife, mother, and grandmother.

My deepest sympathy to the family of Kathy. She was a pleasure to be with at bowling and I will miss her very much. She used to bring in "goodies" for us to enjoy - she certainly was a good cook.
