Prime Minister Davis wrote, "If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. You lived a life of service as admired by the Lord. A service that inspired unity for our world. You served as promised; your rest is well deserved. The world is a better place because of your reign. Rest in Peace"
