CELEBRATING THE LIFE OF AN EXTRAORDINARY WOMAN
"MRS. BEATRICE DAVIS"
 
 
WHEREAS, Mrs. Beatrice Davis answered her Father's call, "Come for I have designed a mansion specifically for you. On the east wing, you will notice windows engraved with precious stones and a royal chair in the corner of the room where you may rest comfortably. As you become familiar with your new home, you will see every wall displays a photograph of a person's life that you have touched. With tears streaming from her eyes, Ms. Beatrice Davis replied with a very soft voice, "Jesus, thank you for coining to get me." Immediately thereafter, her spiritual body disconnected from her body of flesh and she followed Jesus to Heaven's Gate. Every Angel that stood by waiting shouted, "Mrs. Davis is Home!"
 
WHEREAS, we can all attest to the fact that Mrs. Beatrice Davis was an inspiration to everyone who knew her; her words of encouragement, expression of strength, faith and undying love for her family and others exemplified a woman of great character. Mrs. Beatrice Davis fulfilled her life as a Proverbs 31 Woman; she was a virtuous and capable wife. Her husband trusted her and she greatly enriched his life. She never hindered him, but yet helped him all the days of their lives as one, and for that very reason and so many others, her children have always called her blessed;" and
 
WHEREAS, now I speak on behalf of every generation represented here today, and even those that could not make it, when I say, "Mrs. Beatrice Davis name was more than just an average name." Her name represented integrity, kindheartedness, and strength beyond what we could possibly imagine. Though we cried and prayed often for her natural life to be extended unto to us just a little while longer, we can rest assure that one day we shall meet her again. Therefore, let us stand in unity today and salute God with a "Mouth of Praise" for allowing us the opportunity to know such an Awesome and Mighty Woman of God: also known as your family member, someone's friend and my 21st Ward constituent; and
 
WHEREAS, Mrs. Beatrice Davis leaves to treasure her loving memories, a g> dedicated husband, friend, confidante and her spiritual covering Mr. Jessie Davis, two zZ loving sons William and Mitchell, four grandchildren and several great grandd$lfen, along with a host of friends, cousins, associates and neighbors; now, therefore ^—■
BE IT RESOLVED, that the Mayor and members of the City Council c^e City-p of Chicago, will gather together on the 10th Day of April, 2013, A.D., to express^heir ^ sorrow on the passing of Mrs. Beatrice Davis and extend to her family and friend^tfteir ^ sincere condolences; and ~Z
 
 
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a suitable copy of this resolution be prepared and presented to the family of Mrs. Beatrice Davis.
