Madeline was one of the strongest women I have ever known. She had confidence and character and a giving heart. Everyone who worked with her benefited from knowing her. She put her faith in me a long time ago when I needed someone to do that and I will never forget her or stop loving her. Candy and Gaile you have my deepest sympathy for your loss.
