Going Home

Bonita Marie Davis never gave up without a fight. All the endless days and countless lonely nights. Although we loved her dearly, we could not make her stay. Time stood still…Our bodies sat motionless…when we heard "she's gone, our "fafa" has passed away. We do not know the answers as to "why?". Deep breathes, many thoughts, tears flow as we all began to cry. God does things for a reason. He called his child home, to be one with her father, brothers, and two sisters. She'll never be alone So dry your tears and wipe your face for she's looking down on us as her body and soul leaves this place.
Love Keesa, Lynita, Chanae, and Mona
