To the Davis Family: We spent many years playing tennis together. She loved her family, her church, and of course tennis. Many fun times traveling to play tennis. One time we went to Georiga and she was my partner. We enjoyed the tennis, but she hated the travel through Atlanta, GA. Will miss our conversation. Asking God for comfort and peace especially to Chester, her life partner.
