Dear Davis Family,
Mrs. EraGene was a special lady. I remember vividly her face when the youth group would visit her house each Christmas while caroling. Her face would light up and it seemed that she was so blessed to have them come and sing to her. But truthfully, she was one of those that made the night of caroling such a blessing for all of us who were involved in singing the carols. She will be missed but her memories will remain for generations to come. Sherri and I are praying for peace and comfort for all the family during this time.
Keith and Sherri Martin
