The word I thought of was fierce, our mother was fierce! Yes, she endured all pains, sorrows and losses of life but she did it with the grace of a true Queen. Underneath it all what ran through her veins and her very essence was a mothers love. Words cannot describe how much you will be missed but here is your legacy....Sons, Will Davis Jr. o f Ft.
