I was so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow. No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. I went to school with Madeline and had seen her often while shopping. She will always be remembered.

It's been quite a number of years since I've seen you all, but I'm Dickie Richardson and Della Holliman Richardson's youngest daughter.

When I learned of Madeline's passing my mind went back to all of the summers when she would come to visit her grandma, my Cousin Vergie, and we would walk down to see her or she would walk up to our house. I will always remember her as a such a beautiful, sweet person.

Please know my thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time, and she's now resting with the angels.

To Mr. & Mrs. Hollimon,
I am so sad to hear of Madeline's passing. I attended Charles City High with Madeline. She was one of a very small group of students that became my friends during my time at school. What a very beautiful and sweet person she was. May the Spirit of God Comfort You in knowing that she is now free of anguish and pain.

To The Family,
While knowing Madeline only for a short time, it seemed like we were friends forever. I learned so much from her as a co-worker. She will be truly missed. Hold on to the memories and onto God's unchanging hand. He will sustain you through this transition and pain. The sting of "Death" hurts; however, Rev 21:4, states that "He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."
Prayerfully,
Willie & Gloria M. Fair
