Words cannot express the sadness & shock of Davada's passing. Please know that my Prayers go out to each and everyone of you. She was a great example of what it means to be a Woman of God and Prayer Warrior. I learned a great deal from her and she was one of the first people I would go to for prayer. My heart is very sad for her family and friends but REJOICING FOR HER!!

I met Davada while working at WKTX radio station. We became friends and had many wonderful talks. Davada helped me through a very difficult time in my life. One special memory was when she came to my home and sang In The Presence of Jehovah. I was delivered from some very bad memories while she was singing. She was a true follower of our Lord. My condolences to her family. She was a precious gift from God to them and to all of us who had the privilege of knowing her.

I just found out of the passing of such a tremendously awesome woman of God; friend, and we are devastated at the loss of our friend--God plucked away a very special woman to go to her rest in Him--we anticipate a reunion with Davada in the general resurrection of the Body of Christ; until the we HONOR her memory--in Jesus name...

I am VERY sorry to hear if Davada's passing. I had the privilege of working with her at USIS. She always wore pretty dresses and I loved her van decorated with lace. I knew she was religious and very big into church. She comforted me and we prayed together when I found out my Grandpap was dying and I had to leave. Never one to complain about overtime or anything. She used to do this finger snap and a "That's right Girlfriend". And she ALWAYS asked about my cats. I know she is in a better place with our Lord who she loved and cared about more than anyone I know. Please know she had a heart of gold and will be greatly missed by many. And to her family SHE DEEPLY LOVED and Talked about you all the time. Everyone made her proud. And she especially loved to brag how her mom still sold Tupperware. She was an exceptional lady. And will be missed by many. God Bless

On behalf of the Quality Life Services (Trinity Living Center) family, we extend our deepest condolences. Davada was such a sweet, kind and faithful woman - it was obvious that she enjoyed being around the residents and the role of Concierge was perfectly fit for her. I enjoyed communicating with her regarding Don't Stop Dreamin' - she had such a passion for helping to fulfill residents' dreams. She will be missed. God bless you in your time of grief.

I salute my colleague in the Lord.

What a privilege it was to serve with her at New and Living Way Apostolic Church of Jesus Christ.

We always connected in divine ways that we both knew that it was God.

My heartfelt condolences too the family and all of her loved ones.

Elder Davada is truly singing, praising, and finally able to demonstrate what she has been rehearsing here on earth.

God bless...

I was so blessed to have met and worked with Davada, she was amazing and such a great co-worker. She looked out for everyone and knew everyone. I loved her spunk and outgoing attitude. She made me want to be a better person. For that I know she lived and loved life. I send my condolences and deepest sympathy to her family and friends that will be so lost without her wisdom. May we embrace her memories and share her stories so she lives on in our hearts.

Dan and family,
We were very saddened to hear of your loss. We all know she is in a better place. We were so lucky to be at a singing to hear Davada, Robin and Jimmy sing. What beautiful voices. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

The last time I saw Davada she was sitting in my living room, as sweet and gentle and loving as she always was, patiently waiting for her husband to fix my computer. She is a picture of patience, love, kindness and giving. It was so nice to sit and talk with her as it seemed each time I saw her, I was always in a hurry. I am so sorry for the loss of this beautiful lady. Her passing has hurt so many left behind. I am so sorry Malysa and Brian and all her family. My love and prayers are with you all.

My deepest heartfelt prayers and sympathies are sent to you. My memories of Davada goes back to our childhood days. She was always loving, kind and warm. Always a joy to be around. When we reconnected a few years back it was as though time and distance did not change us. Davada was a true warrior and a fighter. She fought a great fight but she kept the faith and today she is in the presence of God almighty totally cancer free. Another of God' children is home at last!
