Courtney Davis – Ambitious and much loved young lady

Family and community mourn the tragic loss of young Courtney
Davis. “Life is only as bad as you make it” During Courtney’s
battle with cancer, this was Courtney’s final message on her
myspace page to share with her friends “I feel like I’ve reached a
point in my life where I have realized how much I’ve learned, how
many great people I’ve met and how many beautiful places I’ve seen.
I’ve learned life can be so unpredictable and that friends can turn
into family. I’ve matured and learned to keep my head up high and
never let anything show. I’ve learned to be so grateful for
everything I have and to be appreciative to everyone doing things
for me. I’ve seen the Mall of America and sat front row at an
incredible concert. I’ve met Barry Zito and gone bungee jumping.
But there are so many things I still need to learn, so many people
I need to meet and so many places I need to see. I need to learn to
keep my room clean and get a job. I need to meet the president to
give him my petition. I need to meet my idol Britney Spears. I need
to go to Hawaii and go scuba diving. I need to go to Mexico and
sink my toes in that white sand. There are so many things I wanna
accomplish in my life and so many plans I have. I wanna read my
whole series of unfortunate events books. I wanna see the rest of
the Harry Potter movies in theaters. I wanna make my scrapbook. I
wanna grow my hair out to my boobs. I wanna graduate high school
and complete my pact! I wanna go to a university and become a
pediatric oncology nurse. I wanna have a family with a husband whom
I love and kids! I’m not ready to leave this world and when I am I
will know. So until then I won’t stop fighting no matter who tries
to tell me otherwise.” “LIFE ROLLS ON” Courtney Jade Davis passed
away on Jan. 5, 2008 after a courageous two and a half year battle
