My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Madeline was a older cousin who I did not get to see very much but when we would go to her Dad's Uncle Howard's, there was lots of fun and laughter. I am sure she left wonderful memories.May God confort you at this time.

I am so sorry to read of the passing of Madeline. Her father, Howard Dowdy, and my father Joe Dowdy were brothers. Since she was a little older than me, I did not see her very often except at big family gatherings. I remember her as lots of fun. May God give you comfort in all the great memories you have shared with her.
