"Love is patient; love is kind. Love is not jealous; is not proud; is not conceited; does not act foolishly; is not selfish; is not easily provoked to anger; keeps no record of wrongs; takes no pleasure in unrighteousness, but rejoices in the truth; love bears all things, believes all things, and endures all things." 1 Cor. 13:4-7. Madge Thomason was love.

Arrangements are being handled by Kistler-Hardee Funeral Home of Darlington, SC.

We met Madge briefly a few years ago, and were welcomed into her home as friends. She was a lovely lady and very gracious. We extend our prayers to the Thomason family, and especially to Madge. May she be at peace..

Kathleen Kennedy ...Madge was a lovely person and I have fond memories when we were at Edwards Road and our children were growing up. My prayers, love, and thoughts are with all of you. I know she will be missed.

A few times Madge called me to take her to the Dr., and immediately I fell in love with her precious personality. She always wanted to talk about her family and I loved hearing the stories because she loved her children and families so much. I was the one blessed just by being her friend.

Madge has a special place in my heart as a friend in the workplace and then over the years someone that set such an example as a friend, a lady and a woman of faith. She was assured of her heavenly home. She loved her family and prayed for all of us. Meals in her home were delicious. Those notes and cards in the mail always brought a smile and her wisdom appreciated.
