Mrs. Davis was one of the sweetest ladies. She was always so much fun as a bus driver for the Baker Band during my high school years. Prayers for all of her family.

Liz was one of first people to greet us a Pilgrim Rest Baptist church in 1995 and she was so loving and I can hear her laughter as I write this. DA was my husband teacher in men’s class and the stories they shared.
My heart goes out to the family with sympathy
