I was so sorry to read of the loss of Mr. Davis. I have so many wonderful memories of your family.
We go back many, many years. I remember coming into my Daddy's office at Fair Lumber Co. I can still smell the wonderful aroma that the wood produced. Our youngest son, Kyle is in the Timber business. We tell him how proud his Pappaw, Smokey Parks, would be.
Our prayers are with you
