Although we know that when our loved ones are Christians that it's a homecoming for them, it is, however, sad for the ones left behind. I would like to send my condolences out to all of the McDaniel family.

Our condolence to the Earl F. McDaniels family on the loss of their loved one. Earl, Jr. was an outstanding teacher who was loved by the many students who were fortunate to have him as their teacher. He also was a very supportive co-worker and friend to the staff at Sherwood Forest Elementary School, Norfolk. I, Cynthia, worked with Earl over 10 years and enjoyed his friendship. He is missed by his many friends.
