Memaw Davis,
You are by far the kindest soul I've ever known. You were so kind and patient with us crazy kids. You have a giant, gentle heart.
I hope you are in heaven at the biggest table, reaping all the love you spent your entire life sewing into the rest of us. The world lost a huge asset, but heaven gained a true gem of a human being.
I love you Memaw Davis.
I wish all the love and inner peace to Wayne, Jeremy and the rest of your family as well.
Sending love to your spirit and all the family you spent your life raising and loving.
Laura Hanna (Collins)
