Saturday, October 06, 2007
Richmond - Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling today issued the following statement on the passing of Congresswoman Jo Ann Davis.
"I was very saddened to learn this morning that my good friend, Congresswoman Jo Ann Davis had passed away. Jo Ann fought a valiant fight against cancer and held on to her optimism and hope until the very end. The manner in which she handled a very difficult situation was an inspiration to us all.
"I had the privilege of working with Jo Ann during her tenure in the Virginia House of Delegates and during her tenure in the United States Congress. She was a dependable conservative voice on the challenges of our time, but I believe that her greatest contribution was the devoted manner in which she attended to the affairs of her district and the constituents she served. She was a good and decent person.
"My thoughts and prayers are with Jo Ann's husband Chuck and their sons. I know this will be a difficult time for them. I pray that God will comfort them in their hour of need, and assure them that those we love are never truly gone as long as we keep their memory alive in our hearts."
