Dear Jon and family, I just now heard about Maggie and I can't begin to tell you how saddened I am. My prayers will always be with you and yours. Maggie and your family were my saving grace when we lived in Richmond. She was always there for me from being my friend to teaching me about being a new Mom. She truly was one of the most beautiful people I have ever had the pleasure of being friends with. Maggie, you are so missed but you always have and always will live in my heart.

November 20, 2008

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. --2 Corinthians 12: 9-10

Love you,
Thanksgiving will be difficult without you!

Querida familia, pasa el tiempo y más se recuerda a los que nos dejaron.
Su sonrisa, esa que yo recordaba en su cara infantil, os ayudará a seguir sin vuestra querida Magdalena.
Los niños que se quedan sin madre, tienen en su mirada y comportamiento algo especial,ellas los vigilan,segura estoy que a vosotros os pasa algo así. Vuestro padre con su ayuda, seguro que ahora suple a los dos.
Y tú padre de esos niños ánimo y fuerza, pido por tí.
Pili, Juan y hermanos, cuanto siento que la hayáis perdido,siempre os recuerdo en mis oraciones.
Un abrazo Emilia Sierra.

See you in my dreams tonight!

Querida familia
lamento muchísimo la pérdida de Magdalena, y os deseo mucha fuerza en el difícil tiempo que vais a pasar con la profunda pena que produce el perder a un ser tan querido. Espero que vuestro sufrimiento pueda irse mitigando con el tiempo y que dé paso a un recuerdo reconfortante y el orgullo de haber pertenecido al afortunado grupo de familiares y amigos que tuvieron la suerte de conocer y tratar a tan maravillosa persona. Seguro que mi padre se hará cargo de ella, así que no os preocupéis, está ne las mejores manos.

My prayers are with Jon, Michael, Kimmie, Carmen & Matt.

When I received word of Maggie’s passing; I did not believe it. Not my strong, tenacious, caring friend Maggie! The Rock! When we talked, she always talked affectionately of Jon and the kids. She is very proud of her family. However, after much research on the internet my fear was confirmed. I just cried. I am extremely sorry for your loss. I will miss her terribly. She loves Jon and the children so much. I am sure she is looking after each of you from heaven.

May God send peace to all who mourn and comfort all the bereaved among us.

If there is anything I can do, please call.

Dear Freeze and Astruc Family,

I am deeply saddened by your loss. It is times like these we must remember that we cannot choose what life sends our way but only what we can do with the time that is given to us. Mag gives testament to this and her kindness and achievement will always be remembered.

Querida Magdalena, Tu tia Sagrario y yo mismo, nos quedamos muy triste durante las primeras horas, pero poco despues nos acordamos que en el Cielo tenias a un algel esperandote y que te hara mucha compañia. Este angel es tu prima Alicita, que se adelanto para abrirte las puertas del Cielo. Ya sois dos Astruc de la misma generación.

Dear Jon and family,
I am so saddened by your loss and am quite shaken by Maggie's passing. I remember you both so well from Byrd and Freeman days and all of those great times. I know words cannot ease your loss but know that many, many of us share in your grief and that you are not alone. I know Maggie now looks down upon you all and watches over you too. My family's and my thoughts and prayers are with you all and may God bless you and give all of you strength.

Josie Barbie

To the Freeze family,

You don't know me, but Magdalena was one of the first persons to contact my husband, Michael Barbie, after he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. He worked at UR and I believe she knew him through the University. She phoned him many times during his illness to offer reassurance, help and guidance (even though she, herself, was struggling with the same illness). She encouraged him to contact the doctors at Duke University (which he did), and we made many trips down to Durham during his 2-year battle, which he lost on December 27, 2007.

I had the privilege of meeting Magdalena about a year or so ago at the Cullather Brain Tumor Center, and she left a lasting impression on me. I will never forget her upbeat attitude and great friendliness and compassion. In that brief period, I was quite aware of what an exceptional woman she was. I know you will all miss her terribly.

My prayers will be with her family and friends in the days and months to come.

With sincere sympathy,

Lisa Lunsford

August 26, 2008

To the Freeze & Astruc Families,

I knew Maggie as a CPA-both in business and as a co-worker. She was always cheerful and giving-always had a
smile when she talked about her babies and her big family. My thoughts are with you all.

Dear Uncle Jon, Michael, Kimmie, Carmen and Matt,

Aunt Mag always went out of her way to make me and anyone else in my family, feel welcome when we came down to Virginia. (Even when we did complain about how our legs were broken after being in the cramped SUV) I can only imagine how much you will miss her because she was an exceptional woman, mother, sister and friend, to everyone in her life. I will always remember her kindness to me. You are all in my thoughts.

Noah Astruc

August 26, 2008

Uncle Jon and Cousins,

I feel sad like you do and I will miss Aunt Mag a lot. At least she's in a better place. The biggest thing I remember about her is her heartwarming smile. It always made me feel safe and loved when I visited you. I send you all my hugs.

Andrew Astruc

August 26, 2008

Uncle Jon, Michael, Kimmie, Carmen and Matt,

I'm thinking about you non-stop. Even though I am not there with you I am sending my love and my prayers all day every day. Aunt Mag taught me "8+8 got sick on the floor,when they got up they were 64" and it helped me with my times tables. Her smile warmed up my heart and I'm going to miss her. I love you all.

Jon and family,

My heart goes out to each of you at this time. Maggie was special and will be missed. I will always remember her devotion to family and faith. The invitation to join you for ice cream was a perfect introduction to the neighborhood. Bounce sends a loud woof!

Anita Edwards-Struewing

August 26, 2008

When I was a young girl, visiting my cousins (Leslie, Corey & Whitney Morck), I used to play Barbies with Magdalena and Salud. What fun we had! Magdalena was such a wonderful girl and even then showed her loving and kind spirit. My heart is heavy for her family's and all her friends' loss but know that she is indeed with God and smiling down on us. That comforts me as I hope it will comfort you as well.
God bless you and keep you as you go through this trying time.

Sarah Higginbotham

I do not know if Carmen remembers me, but we were good friends at Nuckols Farm. When I heard what happened I had to pay my respects in some way. The whole Freeze family is in my prayers!

Susan Polen

August 25, 2008

To the Freeze and Astruc families: My heart, thoughts and prayers are with you. Mag was a special person, we had connect a few years back via email and through job changes I lost her email address. She was always in my thoughts and prayers. I heard the news at Church on Sunday and alerted my family members. Just know that all you have to do is think of Mag and she will be with you in spirit as she was here on earth. She is now embraced in the loving arms of Jesus and looking out after you all. God bless Mag and each and every one of you.

There are no words to express my sadness at the loss of Mag from this earth. I especially remember her at the track meets, at Michael's graduation, and at last year's 5K - which she and Jon walked together, and just about beat my time "running." Mag is amazing. She was an angel on earth and now she is an angel in heaven, watching over all of us who loved her, I am quite sure. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

August 25, 2008

Jon and Freeze Family,

I was saddened to hear the news from Mark today of the passing of your wife and mother Magdalena.

I just want you to know that she will be with you always...she will live on in spirit and you'll see that often in the things and people around you.

May the good Lord bring you peace and comfort this week and during the days ahead. I pray that your faith remains strong, you'll need to draw on it often.

I pass along this Psalm that a good friend passed on to me over 2 1/2 years ago:

Psalm 34:18
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those who are crushed in spirit.

As the passing days turn into months and years, you will certainly grow to understand what God means when He says 'Do not be not afraid, I am with you...'

My heart is heavy today. I will keep Magdalena, the family and friends in my daily prayers.

May the Peace and Grace of God be with you today and everyday.

Sheila Taylor

August 25, 2008

Jon and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I admired her strength and love of life, she always made me smile when I saw her. I feel fortunate to have known her.

I love you mommy. I know your up in heaven watching over all of us.

I, too, was devastated to hear this news. I only worked with Mag a short while, but I always remembered her wonderful spirit. There was a certain genuineness about her that you don't find with many people. It is truly a sad day. I pray for the family to be lifted up during this unimaginable time.

Jon, Juan, Pilar and Patricia,

My heart sank when I saw this today and my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. It was a privilege to know Maggie for many years and please know she was the most positive, loving person I have ever known. Thinking about her warm heart and positive attitude brings a smile to my face just thinking about her.

I will always treasure the dinner we had in Durham several years ago, talking about Juan and Pilar's courting days, your wonderful family life, etc. Your mutual love and her deep love of Michael, Kimmie, Carmen and Matthew was so clear that night and every time we met.

Anyone who knew Maggie was a better person by just being around her and that's as good as it gets in life in my opinion. I hope to see you all again soon and thanks for sharing Maggie with us. She will be deeply missed.

My deepest condolences to the Freeze and Astruc families at Magdalena's passing. I will always remember our days at Freeman and then Va. Tech as the beginning of her wonderful and productive life. Take comfort in knowing that she is now watching over you just as you all have loved and cared for her each day of her precious life. God Bless your family.
