Hi Thom, May you find some joy in your special memories of dear Maddie. The two of you certainly had an amazing life together, and I will always remember her bright eyes and smile and the devilish sense of humor you two shared. Take good care of yourself tomorrow and always, Leener

Dear Thom,
Blessings to you and your son in these days of loving grief for such a wonderul human being as was Maddie. My brief knowledge of her, when I stayed with her while she was pregnant so many years ago, was such a gift. She was such an amazingly warm and wonderful woman, beautiful inside and out, and I know she loved you deeply and profoundly. May that love live on in your heart, mind and spirit. I will always remember the two of you laughing and smiling together. Take very good...

Thom,
What a shock to see Madeleine's picture on the obituary page. Seems like just the other day we earned our MA's at UP.
Over the years, we met occasionally at UP functions, and of course at Cathedral school where our sons were in the same class. I have since learned how many service projects Madeleine was dedicated to throughout her life.
Peter, who is now living in Missouri, asked me to be sure and send his condolences also.
A Mass will be said for...

Thom, what I remember most about Madeleine was how much you obviously loved her and how much she obviously knew it. Well done.

Dear Faller Family
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Madeleine a rare lady who was as lovely on the inside as on the outside.

Dr. Faller,
I was not fortunate enough to ever meet Madeline; however, I always knew what a wonderful person she was because of the way you spoke about her. I know that this is a challenging and painful time for you and your son. I hope that you find comfort in knowing that you will be with Madeline again someday and that she is in a place where there is no pain or suffering or sadness.
My thoughts and prayers are with you now and always.
With Love,
Lori Henderson

Thom,

On behalf of Blue Key Honor Society and myself, we are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.

In peace,

Thom,

Reviewing today's obituaries, the name "Faller" triggered recollections of what seemed long ago when we all worked together for the benefit of
the Old Church.

I was very sorry to read that it was you whose wife had died.

I do not recall ever meeting what must, after reading about her, surely have been your "better half".

I wish you and yours the pleasure of recalling the best of times with her, and may those thoughts help assuage the pain of her...
