I want to express my deepest sympathy for this family. Sorry I lost track of you all, loved your mom very much although I had not seen her for many years. I have many memories and some photos of your mom and dad.

Dear Davis Family, I will greatly miss my phone conversations with Maryanne
and my annual visits with her to or from our trips to the Iowa State Fair. Maryanne had many losses the past several years and she was always a trooper through it all. I will miss calling her for her helpful family information she provided since both my parents died. Since my brother Larry died, she remained a close sister even though we were far apart geographically.
I am so sorry for your (our) loss.
