I am so sorry for your loss. I have done Val’s hair for a long time and I so enjoyed her. She always talked about her family and her life before she moved here, very interesting. She loved to tell jokes and loved her Tigers. What a Blessing she was.

To all of Val’s children I offer my deepest sympathy. She was a great lady and I know you all loved her very much. Her wit was out of this world. Trivia is not a game I wanted to play with her. I know you will all miss her greatly.

Love to all

Jacquie

I had the great opportunity to meet this wonderful lady about 12 years ago. I helped her daughter Lila move her from North Dakota to Minnesota where she resided for approximately a year. Fondly known as “Grandma”, her wit and knowledge of trivia was a delight. I cherish the time,laughs, and fun we had together.

To the entire Davis Family. Mary and I offer our deepest sympathy for the loss of your Mom. I have old but, fond memories of Mrs Davis from my younger days when she lived in Drake ND. I remember her kind words to a young Air Force guy who so enjoyed her smile and her sense of humor. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

We miss grandma alot. We are so happy we made a trip out to Michigan this last summer to see her. We will miss her jokes,her smile, and her laugh. Robert is happy that he could beat her at Trivia once in a while and when he did o boy grandma did not like it. But she was always ready to play again. I have many great memories as a young girl being with grandma and helping her clean rooms at the Tioga motel. Yes i did get in to some trouble at times but it was lots of fun helping out. Rest in Peace grandma and we will see you again someday, We love you and miss you very much 🙂
