Jean Rogers Davis (Mom/Mammaw/Grannie) personified The Bible verses of 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. Mom is patient and kind. Mom does not envy or boast, is not proud. Mom is never rude, or self-seeking, not easily angered and she keeps no record of wrongs. Mom rejoices with the truth. She always protects, always trusts, always hopes and always perseveres. She never failed to show all of us love in this way!
