Miss Me- But Let Me Go!
Edgar A. Guest
When I come to the end of the road And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room. Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little-but not too long . And not with your head bowed low. Remember the love that we once
shared, Miss me-but let me go. For this is a journey that we all must
take And each must go alone. It's all a part of the Master's plan, A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick of heart Go to the friends we know And bury your sorrows in doing good
deeds. Miss Me-But Let me Go!

Perhaps you sent a lovely card, or sat quietly in a chair. Perhaps you sent those beautiful flowers, that we saw sitting there. Perhaps you spoke the kindest words, as any friend could say. Perhaps you were not there at all, just thought of us that day. Whatever you i:tid to console our hearts, we thank you so much for whatever part.

Mildred P. Davidson, age 69, departed this life and joined hands with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on August 10, 2014 while at her home in Jonesboro, GA.
She was a loving and caring wife, mother and friend. As a mother, she taught her children the value of family and hard work. As a wife, she provided companionship and support. She gave her friendship generously and freely. Her warmth and loving spirit will be sadly missed.
She was born on December 11, 1944 in Carrollton, Georgia and moved to Atlanta, Georgia in 1960. She attended Washington High School, and driven by her love of making women feel beautiful, she chose to further her education by obtaining her cosmetology license in 1986. On August 23, 1980, she married Albert L. Davidson, Jr. and was a member of Divine Faith Ministries for many years.
Mildred had a passion for interior design, gardening, dancing, and animals. She was an enthusiastic entrepreneur and owned several business over the years. She loved her family very deeply, always had an open door policy and embraced people openly and sincerely. Her favorite things to do were travelling and spending time with her family and friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Willie and Charlie Bell Person; son Dennis J. Boykin, adopted sister, Wytonia Rice, parents-inlaw, Albert L. and Inez Davidson and sister-in-law, Barbara Ann Banks.
She leaves to cherish her memories always: devoted husband, Albert L. Davidson Jr.; seven loving children, Frank James Jr. (Veronica), Carla Ann (Michael), Douglas James, Wanda (Frank), James Lamont, Terrence James, Albert L. Davidson Ill; sister, Evie P. Moore; adopted sister, LaTasha Rice; adopted brother, Jerome Mills; forty-two devoted
