God didnt promise days without pain,
L.^hter without sorrow or sun without rain.
But God did promise strength for the day,
t for the tears and a light for the way. And
V
ALL WHO BELIEVE IN HIS KINGDOM OF LOVE,
E ANSWERS THEIR, FAITH WITH PEACE FROM ABOVE.
Rats.'.
There is no need for tears.
I AM AT PEACE; MY SOUL IS AT REST.
There is no pain; I suffer not,
For with your love I was so blessed.
Im in a place of comfort;
The fear is now all gone.
Put those things out of your thoughts.
In your memory, I live on.
Remember not my fight for breath,
Remember not the strife;
Please do not dwell upon my death,
But celebrate my life.


Early on the morning of February 17, 1925, Marguerite Tutt Davis officially enrolled in the school
of life. The eldest of five children born to the late Mr. Judson and Frances G. Tutt, Marguerite was
affectionately called Marg by her family and later M.T. by her friends and colleagues. Marguerite,
possessing a natural desire for knowledge, coupled with ambition and determination, excelled in her
studies. Her early education began in the Richmond County Public School System. She graduated
from high school at Paine College where she also went on to complete her Bachelor of Arts Degree.

Regina Anita Davis. During her ministry years at Tabernacle Baptist Church, Marguerite served on

NO ONE CAN COMPARE TO THAT OF A MOTHER
Caring, devoted - there is no other.
A love so divine, you really truly cared
Unselfishly, you gave,
Your kindness you shared.
We love you dearly, one and all
When we needed you near,
You heard our call.
You were a song in the midst of our heart,
Now TODAY WE GRIEVE AS YOU NOW DEPART.
Your memories will forever linger on
We know youll never
Leave us here all alone.
You are forever with God up above,
We will forever cherish
Our Dear Mothers Love.
