Dear Mrs. Davis' Family, Mrs. Davis was my mom's friend and next-door-neighbor at Summerbreeze. Even though they knew each other for only a short while, my mother so appreciated Mrs. Davis' friendship and misses her very much. Mrs. Davis was a kind lady and we were blessed to have known her. We hope that God's love and fond memories will bring you strength during this time. In deepest sympathy, Kathy Restel

THe kindness and care that Yacqui Davis has shown to her clients throughout the years will never be forgotten by many in the community.
