It takes a village to raise one child. I was raise up in the village with Cryee Mae from the times we were in grade school until we graduated from High school she was a first class lady. A beautiful spirit, loving kind, and that awesome smile.. The loss of a person is felt deeply by many especially if that person had a giving and touching life. I will always remember the life of Cryee May Davis Portis, a very awesome person. To the Family: Hold fast to your memories, to all the cherished moments of the past, to the blessings and the laughter, the joys and the celebrations, the sorrows and the tears, They all add up to a treasure of fond yesterdays that you shared and spent together. The special moments and memories in your life will never change. They will always be in your heart. We weep for Cryee Mae our tears watering the hope to meet in heaven. May God's peace fill your heart.
