Condolences
Gramp,
You and Birdie were like my grandparents not just my children great-grandparents. I am sorry and apologize to Gramp and the family that Brittany and I were not able to make it to your home going but I will say that my family and I loved you as our own. You were always there doing the right thing even when you didn't want to :). Gramp and Birdie reminded me of how important family can be and sometimes you have to just do the right thing!. You were a good person (father, friend, uncle, grandparent, and brother) and you will always be loved and forever missed.
Love you Gramp :)

I would like to give my condolences to the O'Daniles family in Michigan. It is a privelege and a blessing to be married into a beautiful family that is always showing love and giving hearts to everyone. Every good tree bears good fruit, and Harry Lee O'Daniels Sr. is truly a legend in the family and will truly be missed. I pray that God will bless everyone and may God fill that void in everyones loss. He will always be with us in spirit. We rejoice at the fact that he is in paradise with God right now. His life is blessed in the end, and i believe everyone in his bloodline will also be blessed because of his contribution to God and the people around him. he is now at peace with my favorite Mother-in-law Burdie O'Daniels.
love,

Mr. Harry it is very sad to hear of your passing because I remember when I first met you and then meeting your brother never knowing he was your brother until he came to visit at the apartment and Melvin told me "I have a brother live in this apartment" and knowing you were the only black man living in this building and I replied "Melvin Mr. Harry is your brother? and he said yes and I told him you both look alike. From that point on you were so nice to me and my son and I will never forget that and then I became your sister-n-law. We never know what plans God has in store for us. You will be missed by me for sure althought I didn't get a chance to visit with you like I would have liked to. May you rest in peace with Bert, your wife and especially with your brother, Luther Melvin, which is my husband. Please tell Melvin I love him still, think of him often and miss him dearly. To the family of the O'Daniels I will keep you all in my prayers and I know God will see you all through. Jackie, I will definitely keep you in my prayers. God bless you all.
Dear Uncle Moneytree,
You gave our family so much laughter with your storytelling about life. So any memories of you sitting around the kitchen table with your sisters, brightening their day with your smile and support. As one of many nieces and nephews, I want to say I love you. The last time I saw you was at the family reunion last year, I gave you a hug, a kiss and told you I love you. You hug me back and said I love you too. I will always cherise that moment
Jackie, Red, Harry, Eula, to the entire O'Daniels family you guys have our deepest sympathy remember God will take care of you all of you. When you can't see him it's because he is carriering you. And we will continue to pray for all of you! Bessie, Sarah and to all of you we send our love and prayers.
Love,
Hazel Ellison,
