From Heather Benton, Linda Crume Davis' Daughther. Linda was so sweet and lovely:

This is my beautiful mom. She passed away today at around 9:00 AM. She battled hard against lung cancer. It eventually spread to her liver and that's when it all went downhill fast. We found out about the diagnosis on Valentine's Day this year. I'll always remember, I was in the airport on the way to a business trip. She told me not to freak out. All I wanted to do was go to Austin to be with he...r. Almost 7 months later she passed. She was my best friend. Anyone who was a friend of mine growing up and during my teens will remember we had that typical teenage turmoil. But after that we became so incredibly close. We talked daily. I don't know how I'll do life without her. She was such a beautiful soul, and I always had that piece of safety of, "I'm going to go call my mom." I could always confide in her. I spent the last 3 weeks with her. I temporarily left my new job, went to Austin, and just devoted all my time to her. The first 2 weeks of that I did everything I could for her, as I know she did for me when I was young. I fed her, gave her water, did her hair, brushed her teeth, and gave her mini-facials every day. She loved that and it made her feel good. I wish I could do that for her every day of my life. But she stopped needing that help in the last week. She was such a beautiful and hard-working person. She never ever wanted to quit. That's why she held on for so long in the end too. This post is really for family and close friends. The ones who really want to know what we've been through. I just wanted to share. Other than that I'm sure you all know that I'm not one to usually share much on here. But she deserves an announcement and a tribute. I'll love you forever mom.
