Dear Linda and Family,
Our families have again joined together to honor a special loved one, a Mother and a special friend. Madlyn's spirit and joy for life will be greatly missed. Our hope is that she will be at peace and happiest in her everlasting home, sharing a lifetime of memories with Vernon by her side and those who have gone before her.

Madlyn was a very lucky lady to have found not one but two special loves in her life. Al's caring and compassion never faded especially during Madlyn's last months.
The ultimate sacrifice was granted the gift of flight as she tittered between heaven and earth.
May you find peace and comfort in the Lord during this difficult time.
