So nice to see the reminder of Mrs. McDaniel in my in box. I will always cherish the time we spent as children in the Stiles Point neighborhood. Great memories.

Emmie and D.Ann, you may not remember me, it's been a long time since I last saw you and your lovely mom. I once lived in Stiles Point and Judy, Doris and I were great friends. I drank many cups of coffee with those two. She was a smart and wonderful person with a great sense of humor, enviable character and high morals.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and all of her family and friends during your time of sorrow.

With love and sympathy,
Pattie Madden

D.Ann and Emmie, so sorry for the loss of your sweet mother. I have such fond memories of your Mom stopping to chat on her daily walks while I was raking leaves. She will always be a wonderful part of my memories. Your Dad surely greeted herwith open arms!
