As Davis was an avid gardener, we ask that in lieu of flowers please bring plants that can add beauty to his home garden.
Please accept my sincere sympathies in the passing of Davis. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife Alice, his children, family, and all those so close to him while in life. As you mourn, and while I have no words to console your loss in my heart I am with you during this difficult time. May these words of sympathy help comfort you today. May his memory be for a blessing for generation to generations to come.
Davis was always a welcome face at the union hall. My deepest sympathy to all who knew him. May his garden continue to thrive and provide joyous memories with each bloom and each fruit.
You were a good shipmate. Fair winds and following seas, Dave.
Marti and Family,
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. May God’s peace be with you always.
