I just saw the obit today for Mr.Davenport. He was such a dear sweet person. I loved being able to visit with him and his wife when I went in their shop. My deepest sympathy to all his loved ones. The world was a better place for him having been it it. Heaven has gained a very special angel.

Our sincerest condolences to the family of Alan Davenport. Our memories of Farrah and Jason attending Cathedral in Pines school are precious. His presence in their lives has been so meaningful to each of them since that time. Our family loved him and Prisic. We remember him as a Christian first and his witness to the world. We pray for Prisic and Alli during this very difficult time.

My deepest sympathy to Prisci and family. I have such wonderful memories of my brother in the Lord, Alan. I am thankful for his dedication to the Lord's work as he was instrumental in starting our Chi Alpha chapter at Lamar. Then how grateful I am for the summers he and I spent holding Kids Crusades. Alan was talented with his gift of making marionettes, chalk drawings, ventriloquism, and even playing the piano. What wonderful memories I have of our altar services as we prayed with the children to accept Jesus as their Savior! My prayers are with Prisci and the family. Take comfort in knowing that Alan is with the Lord and we will see him again.

Our deepest sympathy to Prisci and the whole family. Pastor D was such a wonderful, loving, and kind person and Little People’s Pastor.  We are forever grateful for his and Prisci’s love of Jesus that they shared so fully and graciously.  He helped to guide our children to Jesus and his impact on our family and so many others will be forever fondly remembered and appreciated.
