Virginia and Family,
My name is Bonnie McDaniel Hawley and I live in Acworth, Ga. My father was Arthur Wilmer McDaniel, step-brother of Uncle Norris. My husband, 2 sons and their families and I have lived in Ga. for 23 yrs. but lived in Roanoke for 38 yrs prior to that. I talked with my Aunt Julie McDaniel today long distance and she told me about the death of your son and brother, Shorty. I know he will be greatly missed and our sympathies and prayers are with all of you at this time. We do take comfort in knowing that he has taken his place in heaven with our Lord & Savior. God Bless each of you.
Love, Your Georgia Family.
Ernie, Bonnie McDaniel Hawley
