My family has many memories of your family going back many years. We grew up together and were a family in North Charleston and GARCO. We are saddened by your loss and want you to know our thoughts are with you.

The Oliver Family

To Chad and other members of the Davis family. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I have many fond memories of your family and especially Mendel. My husband and I send our deepest sympathy to all of you.

It's been years since i've seen Mendel, however he was someone that you would never forget.He was a man of diversity, as I knew him. His tenure as congressman left a lasting impression in my spirit.He had a chance to help make a difference and he did. May all the good memories remain forever in your presence, family. I am bless for the opportunity of knowing him. God Bless you all. Citizen Commoner

You are in our thoughts and prayers.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Jane, Lila, Elizabeth and all the Davis clan. After spending 20 years, give or take, in Mendel's office, I feel like I've lost a brother. Know my thoughts are with you all and I will sorely miss him. I honestly believe that if it were not for Mendel, I wouldn't be here to write this. He was my guardian angel and directed me on the proper path for my physical healing, opening my eyes to just how very sick I was and how much I was denying it. I tried to tell him how much I appreciated what he did for me the last time we were together, and I hope he understood. Mendel and I always said we were family and I truly felt we were. I was privileged to know him. He's home now and he's earned his peace.

Love to all,

Mr. Davis was a great man and he will truly be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family in their time of sorrow. May God grant you peace in knowing that he's in a better place.

To: Mr. Mendel Davis' Family
When your Heart is empty, filling it with happy memories can help you find your smile. Memories are the legacy of love. I was shocked to hear about Mr. Davis. Please know how very sorry my family, my staff, and I are. May God Bless.

Mr. Davis was a kind and gentle man. He was always helpful no matter what the problem or situation was. He will be greatly missed by many. Family keep your hand in God's hand and he will see you through. We are sorry we are not able to attend his services.

Mrs. Jane,

I work in the Office of Teacher Evaluation at 75 Calhoun; however, my dad (Julian Peek) went to high school with Mr. Mendel and shared with me last night about his passing. My sincere sympathy and prayers go out to you and your family at this time.

To the family of Mendel Davis, Our deepest sympathy for your loss. Mendel was always a great friend, a great Congressman and a person always willing to help, even the little man. On behalf of past members of the "Old Radar Club" and Major General Tom Sadler, he will be sorely missed as he was a true friend in time of need.

Jane, Lila, and Elizabeth, I am so sorry that I cannot make it home for the funeral. Along with being there for my father, Mendel was always there for me in my times of need. I will always remember the cookouts with all of you on the weekends and at Dad's restaurant. Lauren and I send our prayers. He is in God's House now.

Jane, Liz, and Lila:
Words can not express how very sorry and sad my family and I are for your loss. Your father was such a wonderful man who did many great things, but most of all he was caring, kind, and loving. I have such wonderful memories of him growing up, too many to list, and I know that Dad is very upset at not keeping in touch over the past few years with him. Just know that y'all are in our thoughts and prayers during this tough time.

Mr and Mrs Davis.. I am sorry for your loss. Charleston lost a fine man and a good friend. Mendel was a good friend.

Dearest Jane:

The wonderful memory of Mendel as an incredible caring and jovial individual will always be in our hearts.
I am a friend of Mendel's from North Charleston High School and North Charleston Methodist Church. Since I live in South Florida, my Dear Friend, Carol Onorato, has kept me updated on our Beloved Friend Mendel.

All my thoughts, love and prayers to you and your family.

Although it is difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,
May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.

To Mendel's Family,
First off, let me say how sorry I am for your heartfelt loss. To loose a loved one is truely a heartbreaking experience. May you find peace within yourselves by knowing that Mendel is now safe and sound in God's loving arms.
I knew Mendel from my childhood, where he used to frequent my Aunt Blanche's florist and home. The rare occassion when he and my Uncle Mendel used to be there together was truely an awesome experience. I last saw him a few months ago at the Re-dedication to the L. Mendel Rivers Library at the Charleston Southern University. Although I had not seen him in years, he recognized me and had a kind word to say about my mother, who had just passed away. It meant a lot to me. That's how he was though, always sharp as a tack and possessing a personal touch that made one feel at home in his presence. On that day, his speech was both articulate and moving. He was always a great speaker, and could easily make people laugh. He will be greatly missed by all that knew him. May he rest in peace and may you, his loving family, find comfort in your wonderful memories and eachothers love.

Sincerely,
Laura Premak

To all of Mendel's family,
My heartfelt prayers and thoughts go to each of you at this time. I went to high school with Mendel and all of us had such a wonderful time "growing up" together. We went to church, MYF, and many school activities together.

I knew Mendel was very ill for some time and learned this through his good friend Don Gatch and my cousin Dolores Gatch. Being a nurse, I am aware of the some of the suffereing he must have encountered.

I tried very hard to make it to Charleston for visiting hours or the funeral, but the time between the notice of Mendel's death and the final arrangements was too short a time for me to make travel arrangements from Toledo, Ohio, where I now live. I wish I could have been there to offer my sympathies to all of you.

God bless each of you, and you will remain in my prayers.

Mr.Mendel Davis You will be missed.God bless you & the Family.Your in a better place with god.

Jane, Lila and Elizabeth,
I am thankful Mendel isn't suffering anymore. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I will always be grateful for all your family has done for Houston.

Jane, we were sad to read of Mendel's passing. We have such good memories of our Mt. Pleasant friends and remember the good times we had with the "group". We miss you all and you especially are in our thoughts at this difficult time. Carolyn & Lannie Sigmon, Mooresville, NC

Sending love and light your way. I am sorry for your loss. I will pray for your healing at this time of great loss.

Dear Jane,
It was always a treat to be able to catch up with you and Mendel when visiting Scarlet Oak Court. May the collective joy you both brought others as well as the special things you have done for so many people comfort you during this time of loss. My deepest sympathies to you and the family.

Dear Davis Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. To have known Mendel was to love him. He has left us all with such fond memories. May he rest in peace.

Lila and Elizabeth,

We are sorry for your loss, and our thoughts and prayers are with you.

To the family of Mendel Davis, I went to high school with Mendel and was in the band with him, he was a character, everyone liked him and he was a joy to be around both in youth groups at church and in school.
He is at peace now and no longer suffering,Jesus has him now and he couldn't be in a better place.
