Mrs. Davis was an incredibly kind woman. We spoke almost weekly for the last year. She had a great sense of humor and was an incredibly important person. She made everyone feel special, like they hung the moon themselves. I will dearly miss our long talks on the phone and i'm so glad I got to meet her in person before she passed. Rest easy, Mrs. Mattie.
