My mom, Jane(Janie) Warren, loved Uncle JC and looked forward to seeing home at the Davis reunion every year. Growing up we would make the trip from Texas to Arkansas every October! Prayers for comfort for all.

There are so many great memories of JC and Marva Lou. JC would give candy to all the kids at church and they couldn’t wait to see Mr. JC. He was a guy that knew how to plant a beautiful garden. Soft spoken and a huge heart! Prayers and love too all the family and I thank God that I will see both of them again!

Praying for you and your family. I have always loved hearing all the stories over the years about Mr. JC. I’m sure now that he has made it to the finish line. He will be looking down and watching all of the seeds/lives that he has touched over his many years on this earth. He will be missed, He has left a big mark in our hearts.
