Madeline will always be in my "memories"; we had a "fun" childhood and teen years together! I always think on the Murdaugh family and the joy they brought to my life...I basically grew up with love and caring from this family. Wishing you all the best and missing Madeline so very much!

My thoughts were with Uncle Lee's family yesterday. I wish we could have attended the funeral for Aunt Madeline. Yesterday at a meeting, I Am A Child of God was sung and I could not get thru it without thinking of our dear Aunt and friend. May she be bringing smiles and laughter to those in the heavens.
We love you Aunt Madeline and pray that we are led and guided to live with Him someday and be reunited with you.

My "special" condolences to Madeline's family. Madeline was my very "best" friend when we were growing up in San Bernardino, CA. I spent most of my early childhood and teenage years with Madeline and family. We just most recently reattached..and I was looking forward so very much to see her again. I am departing Germany enroute to Sequim, Wa. My sister, Linda, and I were excited to have the opportunity to visit Madeline once again. We lost our chance to see her! Please know that our thoughts are with you, Lee, and your children. Missing you "Maddie"...Love Susan

Aunt Madeleine will be missed dearly. She was so funny and much loved. I will never forget her wit and humor. My last memory of her is that of her telling my children they need a puppy. I love you so much and look forward to meeting her again in the eternities.

To my mother--but you were so much more than that: my comforter, confidant, adviser and best friend. You were the first person I would call. And although we had our differences, you were always there for me. You always accepted me for who I am. In a way only a mother could, you were my cheerleader. If you only knew what a large impact you have had in my life. Everyone who met you could not help but love you--you were that special and I will miss you so much.

I'll always remember your mom/mother-in-law, grandma, etc. for her warm smile and how she made others feel special and welcome. May the "Comforter" bring you peace in the days, weeks, months, and years ahead.
