My life will never be the same without you. I will cherish all the memories we have made over 25 years, and I will tell our children daily about all about the wonderful times we had. Thank you for giving me the blessing of being a member of the Davis family. I will do my best to support and care for them just as you would have. Until we meet again, my love, I will be thinking of you, your amazing smile, and how you were always my best friend.
