Madeleine was a witness for justice and peace in the Diocese of Maryland and the wider Church. Our deepest sympathies from the Diocese of Easton and Shrewsbury Parish. May you be blessed abundantly in the days to follow.

She was a wonderful person and will be deeply missed at Grace Church. May she be at peace now with our Lord. I will truly miss her.

My prayers and condolonces to Madeline's family and the many people who will miss her in our diocese. She was a model Deacon.

I know our Lord has welcomed Madeleine with great delight, but at the same time may you feel the Holy Spirit's comfort during this time of grief.

I wish I could be present with you all in person. However I have been and will continue to be present through thoughts and prayers. I'm so glad she was appointed Archdeacon for Formation and so sorry she left us so soon. She was a very special person in my life and a great example of following in our Lord's footsteps as a Deacon. Now she rests, free from all pain of every kind, in the arms of her and our Lord.

Dear Jim, Trudie, Nancy & David,

Like the Alexanders, I have very fond memories of growing up in Adelphi and spending a lot of time at your home in elementary and junior high school.

I am thinking of you as you try to cope with this most difficult of losses.

Dear Jim, Trudie, Nancy & David...we are a voice from your past when we all knew each other as neighbors from Adelphi and Cherokee Lane elementary which left us with warm memories of your family.
Just want to write and express to you of how sad we are for you and know this is such a loss for you.

I will always remember her prayers for so many on often forgotten in our society and for those in need. You family is in our prayers during this time of loss. Lisa Hansen-Viglotti and family.
