To everyone that knew my father, James L. Davis you know you were blessed because you had the joy of hearing his humor, feeling his kindness, listening to his knowledge and experiencing his immense talent for pen and ink drawings. Parkinson's took my father from us long before I was prepared for the loss of him in my life. Not one day, not one goes by that he is not in my thoughts and what I wouldn't give to have him back just for a few minutes to hug him again and tell him how much I love him. This world is not the same without him. Seeing him struggle with Parkinson's is not something all folks can understand and just simply made you wish that there was some sort of medical breakthrough that could help him. That breakthrough never happened. I love you dad.
