To Parents of Lavel Davis, Jr.
Words just cannot express how saddened I am by the tragic loss of your dear son, Lavel, and I send my heartfelt condolences to you, all your family, and the community. This must be the most difficult time for you; however, please know that Lavel will not be forgotten; he will certainly be remembered by all who loved him. He will be remembered for his skills and talents on and off the football field.

Please continue to cherish your good memories of Lavel, and may they provide some comfort for you. Grief can be complicated and hard; however, God understands exactly how you feel, and he will keep comforting you because he is close to the brokenhearted and those crushed in spirit. He will give you the courage, strength, and peace to cope. May he sustain you at this time of great loss and comfort your broken hearts. May prayers strengthen you. With my deepest sympathy, may the power of prayer ease your sorrow, give you peace and provide much comfort for you during this difficult time. Wishing your family peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead, and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts and hands. May God continue to comfort you. -23rd Psalm
