So very sorry for the great loss to your family of Mrs. Davis. She was a very loving, kind, and special woman. She was my daughter Caroline's third-grade teacher and really made school fun for her again after a really tough second-grade year. For that, we will be forever grateful. The children loved that she took the time to read to them, and especially looked forward to their turn getting to be "the back scratcher" as she read. A very honored position. Mrs. Davis was always so thoughtful about "keeping up with her kids" and congratulating them for their achievements on social media. Finding a way to connect with them on their level. Mrs. Davis meant so much to our family and will be dearly missed. One of the best.
