Just heard about Mrs. Carter's death and was saddened by the news. Mrs. Carter was my bus driver 25 years ago. She was loved by many of us school bus riders and will be missed.

My heart is filled with sadness at your loss. We will miss Madeline so much. She was a wonderful mother, wife and friend. For many years I have valued the friendship, kindness and thoughtfulness I have shared with Madeline. During Moms death Madeline was like sunshine to me during my dark times. I'll never forget how Madeline could cheer me up with her jokes. People like Madeline are few in life.

With a heavy heart I grieve your loss. It goes without saying that I would drop anything to help you all right now during this difficult time.

Love and prayers,

Lynn Dawn Powers
