Have known through work and always a sweet, talkative and friendly person.....Been missing you yet will always remember our lovely conversations
I've known Garland Davis for many years. I worked with Caro-San back when Sherry owned it and he and I worked there. I left and moved on and I had the pleasure of him delivering Caro-San to my work in Washington North Carolina. Such a down to earth sweet man. He gave his heart and soul to Caro-San and was proud of his work done. He talked about God and what the Lord had done for him. He talked about his children and his mother. My heart is saddened to hear about his passing. We were just buddies. The Lord has definitely gained another angel. A friend: Teressa Parker from Washington NC
