Madeline was like a second mother to me growing up. As a child I have great memories from visiting her home. She always welcomed me as a friend and neighbor. I remember the best oatmeal cookies, the beautiful Christmas village, and a beautiful home. She did a great job raising her family and will be missed by all who knew her.
