Larry was a wonderful Man of God. From the time he became part of the Tabor family, he truly was "family" to all of us. He constantly put others before himself and delighted in his immediate family - Sandra, Jody, Christy and Ethan. His delight wasn't only in his immediate family. He had a heart big enough to encompass his nieces, nephews and even his grand nieces and grand nephews although he wasn't able to be with them very often. We will celebrate your life when we gather on Monday, Larry. We love you and know you are now part of the great Cloud of Witnesses. We will miss you with all our heart and look forward to seeing you again in the not too distant future.

Words aren't enough to express the sincere impact Mr. Davis had on my life in just the short time I took care of him in rehab. He was always such a sweetheart, always in good spirits, very mannerly & always had a smile on his face no matter how bad he was hurting or how terrible his day was going. He is certainly going to be missed by all of us at Covington Court Rehab but we all know that he is in a better place & no longer hurting. Thank you for allowing us to provide care for such a great inspiration. Until we meet again, Love ya Mr. Davis. My thoughts & prayers are with the family at this difficult time.
