Nancy French McDaniel

I am so sorry to hear about your mother. I met your mother at the very first kid's dig. She and I sat under a tree at the dig site and showed the children who came by the wonders in the clay of the wetlands of Saltville.
I missed her this past summer. Nancy was a very dear friend and I will miss her terribly. My thoughts are with you --- I am sorry for your lost.

Deepest sympathy to you, Katie and Andy. I will remember her for her love and support to our family when we were faced with my illness and the help for getting us to school each morning with a breakfast from our morning stop at Master Chef. Thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Andy and Katie,

Kelly and I were very sad to hear of your mom's passing. She was a big part of my life growing up playing chess in addition to being the mother of one of my best and lifelong friends. Playing competitive chess has been an enormous positive influence in my life. Without the dedication of "Mrs. Mac", it's unlikely we would have had that opportunity. Our thoughts are with you and we look forward to seeing you at Christmas.

Sincerely,

Mark Alley &...

Andy and Katie,
Sorry to hear about your loss. You are both in my prayers. Nancy was a great influence on us all growing up.

Katherine and Andy,
Please accept my deepest sympathies for the loss of your mother. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Andy and Katie,
The news of your mothers passing has left a hole in our family"s heart. Nancy was a good friend and a "Granny" to our Katie Beth. Her love of our family and her second home, Saltville, is just an example of her big heart. We have never known anyone who loved learning as much as Nancy did. And the sharing of that knowledge was her passion. Katie Beth's room is full of books, "Granny Nancy" insisted needed to be read.
Nancy was never so happy as when she was covered...

I was one of Nancy's classmates and I always enjoyed being with her and seeing her dance. She was a very talented person. My prayers are with Katie and Andy. Know that your Mother is at peace now.

My deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Mrs. McDaniel. She was a wonderful teacher and mentor to my sisters and me as we learned the game of chess. I will never forget our early mornings at Master Chef.

I was saddened to read of Ms McDaniel's passing. I too was one of many students whose life she touched through her gift of teaching. She was one of my favorites and will be greatly missed.
