To say 'I'm sorry to hear of your loss' does not quite express the depth of my sympathy....just as I know hearing others say they are sorry for your loss does not lessen the sadness you may feel. Even so, please know there are many who are thinking of you, praying for you and are there for you however is possible. God bless you all.

So sorry to hear of Nolia's passing. I knew her for years and she always reminded me of my grandma. When I went to see her she always had to give me something before I left. When I spoke with her on the phone she always said that talking to me made her feel better. I will miss her and always love her.

I had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Davis a few years ago. She was a lady with strong values and a deep faith that guided her life and positively influenced her family and anyone who knew her. I know we will all miss her dearly, and we can take comfort that her legacy of values and faith will live on through those she touched. My thoughts and prayers are with all her family and friends in this time of loss.
