Dear Bob and Family,
I am so sad to learn of Madeline's death.
She was one funny lady who always made me laugh.
The two of you raised wonderful children, who in turn, did the same.
Good bless you all.

Madeline has always treated me and my wife and my mom as family and therefore our loss is deep. The 45+ years of memories will keep "mom" forever in our hearts and minds. Her legacy will be her family and for that and for that alone she should be honored, but she did so much more and for that she is cherished. Hugs were "never good enough". She always wanted a kiss. Hugs and kisses Madeline for a lifetime of goodness and love. God Bless! Chuck, Robin and Teddi
