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.

My world was a better place because Margaret Beck Daniels was in it. She will be missed not only by her family, but by those of us who also knew her for most of our lives. May she rest in peace through the mercy of God.

To Mr Daniels, Joyce and Family, I just
heard about Miss Margret. I have alway
loved this family. Miss Margret was an
even greater lady than I knew of. I have always known her as a real and kind person, that's why I loved her so.
My heart and prayer are with you, and I
thank GOD for putting her in my life.
May GOD continue to bless and keep you
and send HIS HOLY SPIRIT to confort and
keep you. Love, Marcia

Margaret Daniels was a special person that I would define as very "classy" woman. I have known her most of my life and when I was in high school, my parents lived next door to the Daniels. She was a friend of mine and even though I moved to the Washington, D.C. area years ago, we kept in touch. I pray that the Lord will continue to bless James, Joyce and the rest of her family as they mourn a great woman's passing.
I will never forget the kindness Mrs. Daniels showed me throughout these years and I will miss her.

Margaret Daniels was my great grandmother but she took on the role of grandmother to Mia and I because we lost ours before we got to know her.

My fondest memories of grandma are of her taking me to church every sunday, teaching me, Mia and Tai to play kings corner, and her doll collection (I now collect Barbies). Because of her I have a relationship with God.

I miss her and love her very much. I take solace in knowing she is in heaven with God and has been reunited with her daughter, mother and friends. I was blessed to have her in my life for 29 years. Kendra C. Mix (the 1st great grand daughter)

To the family of Sara Daniels I have nothing but fond memories of her, she was instrumental in my being hired at the Gas company, she made sure I recieved an interview with the right individual, and that I knew what the requrirements were for the position.

Sara helped a lot of people back in the late 70's and early 80's I never forgot her. She used her position to help others, not just herself like so many others.

Remember the person she was, and what she represented, she represented to me a positive force during a time when we all needed that in the workplace, knowing there was someone who had the back of those who needed it.

I remember the Sara Daniels that represented a positive woman of color who was able to make a difference and who did! she didn't sit back afraid to take action she represented to me a mover and a shaker! a woman I deeply respected and one who gave me at age 19 a chance and aspirations that I could go beyond the mail room.

Rest in peace sweet Sara, and to her family you were blessed to have her as we were blessed by her at MUD.

I 'll never forget her, I wouldn't be there now to recieve the opportunities that I recieved at MUD had it not been for her giving me a chance, I'll never forget her.
