Elsie Mae McDaniel

Hey momma,
It’s been a minute since I’ve written in your guestbook but I think about you all the time.
We all miss you terribly and now daddy has passed on also. My wish is that you found each other because he missed you so much.
Please continue to watch over us. I’m doing the best I can to keep your children together. It’s not always easy but I will continue to try.
Please pray for us.
Loving and missing you always
Nan

Simply just missing you momma! Keep resting and watching over us! Love you forever! Always your baby girl!

Tell Dad i feel his spirit and i am so sorry and i will always have his back! Missing you both! LaRhonda

R.I.P MRS.ELSI MAE....

Momma, since it is the holiday season, I am thinking about you, Ruth and all of the memories of you two at this time of the year. You loved to cook for your family and boy, could you cook! I miss seeing you in the kitchen preparing all of your food, with love. I just wanted you to know that although you are not here to celebrate the holidays with us, you are thought of and missed, so much. I could not have asked GOD for a better sister and more beautiful mother. I love you momma and I miss you and Ruth so much.

Happy Birthday Momma!! I know you are enjoying celebrating your birthday in heaven with all your family and friends. We miss you so much!!! Just think, you would be 77 yrs old today. Love u special lady.

Hey Momma!! I just wanted you to know that you are thought of everyday. Life has been so different. I know you were ready to rest but it's hard to let you go. Missing you so much!!! Love you always, Nan

R.I.P MY BEAUTY! SURE DO MISS YOU!

momma,momma,momma! missing you so much!

Hey, Gran Gran....i came and laid by your side the other day and just cried...i miss you so much that those four words cant even describe my pain. i never thought that i could feel a pain this deep and love someone so much but you were my everything...my rock and my shield from all harm. i love you gran gran and even though i cant be with you anymore, that love will never change.

Hi moma. Happy birthday!!! I am missing you so much!!! I know you are celebrating in Heaven. Love you so. R.I.P

Wow! It still brings tears to my eyes when I think of you not being here. But there is one angelic memory of that day: "From her bedroom, down the stairs, right out to the driveway, stood each one of her grandchildren. As they carried her out and each child's held fell with tears. Coincidentally Midge was outside already and began to walk down the drive as the van took her away. The van followed Midge down the drive, when Midge got to the end of the drive she turned. The van began to pass her Midge began to waive saying 'By Momma, see you later!' That beautiful spiritual sight was like watching them carry an Angel to the stairways of Heaven!" Love You Aunt Elsie Mae. The only person I know who never had an enemy in Life and in Death! Your Nel-Nel Love's And Misses You So!

Mommy! Words cant express the hurt and sadness i still feel from your passing. A year has gone by and my heart still aches as if it were yesterday. I dont get it when people say it gets easier. They must of misunderstood. When you have been given a Mom like you, how possible can it get easier? I pray that God understands my agony, and shed that light for me, because i am just having a hard time with this. Maybe its because i am the baby of the family, i dont know but i miss you dearly. R.I P. my beauty, R.I.P!

Mom, it will be a year at 8:00 this morning since you passed on to be with God. We are missing you so much!!! I knew it would be hard without you but I never imagined just how hard. You were an angel given to us for a short time. I still think about you many times during the day. Something always reminds me of your beautiful spirit. I still grieve for you. Please pray for us!! Missing and loving you so much. R.I.P - Your loving daughter, Nan

Sitting here wanting to call you, realzing you are not with us anymore physically, but I know you are here in the spirit....please wath over us (your family) miss your lovely voice so much...I know you are enjoying Mama & Daddy, Mamie, IV, Jack , Curtis & Boone...tell them I love & miss them too!

Beautiful lady, you are missed so much!

Mom, if i heaven really did have a phone, I certainly would call you and let you know everything thats been going on! Just want you to know that your beautiful reputation and legacy you left behind will never be forgotten! People near and far knew of you and i am just amazed at how many lives you touched. You were simply amazing. Well i know you are with me, and you are always thought about! So many signs, that i am constantly looking wondering when the next is going to come! I love you and miss you dearly! Breece said he is going to score some, not just one, but some touchdowns for you! Love your baby, LaRhonda

Happy Birthday mom. We celebrated your birthday and even had a cake for you. Life is so empty here on earth without you. Missing you terribly. Your loving daughter Nan.

Dearest Mom. Today was my birthday and I realized you weren't going to call and wish me Happy Birthday. I am struggling with the fact that you are gone to Heaven and I won't see your beautiful face for a while. I'm trying not to be selfish by wishing you were still here, still in pain, but a part of me wants you here with us still. Please prepare a place for us in your new Heavenly home. Tell Ruth hello too. Missing you so much. Love you always, Nan. Rest in peace.

Aunt Elsie Mae,

I just wanna say that I am blessed to have such a great lady to call my Auntie. I know that you are in a better place but we will all miss you here on earth. I know there is a big celebration going on in Heaven because you have arrived. I just wanna let you know that I love You and I will never forget you. Rest in Peace.

Love you.

Your Niece

Sending love and prayers to the family and friends. I only knew her a short while, but she was someone I admired greatly.

Aunt Elsie Mae, I Love You & You Will Be Greatly Missed. I Hope You Enjoyed What I Said Today, See You Later! Love, Nikki

With deepest sympathy, my prayers are with your family.

To Midge and Family,
I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother and loved one. She was truly kind-hearted and had such a beautiful smile. She always had a kind word, was so easy to talk to and get to know. She always had a way about her that she could make anyone smile. Stay encouraged through this difficult time - God ALWAYS provides.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.

Mrs. Mc Daniel,

Your passing, this time, is truely a "Gift" back to God. He allowed you to share your wisdom, knowledge, and "unconditional" love to all that had the privilege to cross your blessed path. As a young child in my youth I can still hear your voice of reasoning and tutoring me to be a better man,
while showing a caring and nurturing heart, with anyone that needed to have just a simple conversation with you. You are by far going to approach Gods kingdom as like a 'shinning star' here on earth that people pray on. Your dedication Mrs. Mc Daniel, to performing Gods work and uplifting your family in his teachings were a tribute to you not only as the "Great" Women that you were but also as a child of God. So on this day of your calling, your departure, your ascending back to the "Angels"; it will be a glorified day for not only myself; but, all mortals that were every blessed with your presence!! Cause on this day once again you will be in the job where you belong...Gods right hand. Bless you , and your family...,AND REST IN PEACE.......

To Rhonda and Family...My prayers are with you All...Love You!

To the McDaniel Family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Mrs. McDaniel will be greatly missed by all. She has given me many many fond memories. I won't know what to do when I come home now for visits. I would always drive through the old block and stop when I saw Mrs. McDaniel out in the yard, We would catch up on her family and mine, she would get on me and tell that I should stop even if she wasn't outside. (but I found that every visit she would be out there).
May God bless you all.

Kim Jones McPhaul

To the McDaniel Family (my dear cousins)

Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow. You're in my thoughts and prayers. Please know how much you are loved and how deeply your loss is felt by all. May God continue to bless each of you.

To my cousin and family, No words cannot be expressed enough losing a loved one especially my auntie, Elsie Mae. Please know I can feel your pain, I have experienced this. But with strenght from God he will see you through this, and know that weeping may endureth for a night, but tears of joys will come in the morning. Praying for you and your family. Keep your faith in God and ask him to help you, your family, and friends of Elsie Mae see you through and I know God will grant it. God Bless You...

To the McDaniel Family, I'm so sorry for your loss! Elsie was always such a nice friendly. My thought and prayers go out to you and your family.
Mary Aguilera @ Saralee Bakery

To the McDaniel Family: My sincere thoughts and prayers go out to you during this time of your loss. I'm a friend who will always remember the McDaniel family and their beautiful daughters. May God be with you and yours during your time of bereavement.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Mrs. McDaniel. She was a great inspiration to many of us neighborhood children growing up on 47th Ave and she will truly be missed. May her legacy continue to live on in the lives of her loved ones. You all are certainly in my thoughts.

The Crawford family sends their love.

Aunt Elsie Mae,

When I last saw you over the Thanksgiving holiday, I remember very clearly what you told me. I am walking in that advice. I am amazed by the quality of your heart. In your pain, you showed concern for me. Wow, no wonder God chose such a sacred day to bring you home. I will always honor your memory.

Love,

Pepper

The McDaniel Family,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I have known the family for many many years. You are in my thoughts and prayers in the days ahead. Your loved one has gone to see better days.

Mommy,it has only been a few days and I already miss you. I learned through all of this that one can never be prepared for losing someone you love so dear. You are the reason why i am the woman I am today, and i will instill those same qualities you possessed in my own daughter. Don't worry about Naria and Breece they will be taken care of and don't worry about me,because I have 4 beautiful women that have your light and spirit to lean on, and those women are my sisters. I am trying to be strong,but you were my best friend,and I know where you are, I just have to stay strong and know that you are with me in whatever I do. Thank you for being there for me, and I wish that everyone had the priviledge of having a mother like you. Your the best and I love you! Your baby girl, La Rhonda

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

You meant so much to us sis!

You meant so much to all of us
You were special and that's no lie
You brightened up the darkest day
And the cloudiest sky

Your smile alone warmed hearts
Your laugh was like music to hear
I would give absolutely anything
To have you well and standing near

Not a second passes
When you're not on our minds
Your love we will never forget
The hurt will ease in time

You meant so much to all of us
You were special and that's no lie

Not a second passes
When you're not on our minds
Your love we will never forget
The hurt will ease in time

Many tears I have seen and cried
They have all poured out like rain
I know that you are happy now
And no longer in any pain. R.I.P Sister

To my Uncle Junior and all my cousins,

We are the closes anyone can get to brothers and sisters outside of being brothers and sisters. Ya'll know your Mom would not want you guys to be sad. She set an example for what we all should strive to be. She is right were she wants to be; in the arms of the Heavenly Father. Find strength in knowing that. Because of her walk in life you can trust and believe you will see her again. I know what it like to loose a parent..her love will live on through you. The torch has been passed and its up to all of you/us to keep that light shining bright just like your Mom did. I love you all so very much!!

Love always,
Shanda

My dear Auntie, you showed our family the true meaning of unconditional love. Thank you for all the love, grace and wisdom you bestowed upon us.

You taught and you fought now its time for your to reap the harvest of your seeds. Your legacy will forever live on. I will never forget our talk; because I that I am able to continue and succeed in my spirital walk. I can't say thank you enough. I love you Auntie!!

Rest on,
Love your "choosen" niece

GranGran its only been a day and it feels like a lifetime. I miss and love you so muchh. you will ALWAYS be in my heart.

My dear mother; oh how I already miss you! You were the best mother anyone could ask for. You've done your Godly service. Now it's time for you to get your reward. I'm never going to say goodbye. Only, see you later, in the sweet by and by, a place where God has revealed will have no more sorrow nor death. No more pain nor suffering. A place where saints will walk the streets of Gold. That's what you deserve dear momma. That's what you deserve. I love you momma.
