Lancaster, CA Tuesday, November 8, 2022 Martha Davis had a gift for making people feel welcome and loved.We will never forget how very kind she was to our entire family.
(We were new Christians when we first met her 50+ years ago at what would become our home church.) Her faithfulness to the Lord despite trials were an example for us to follow.
She also had a great sense of humor, And remembering that wonderful laugh of hers still makes me smile. We send our heartfelt condolences to her family on her passing and look
forward to that day when we shall see her again. I can only imagine the Joy there will be in His presence.
