Madelyn Ellen Linsenmeir

Hi first I want to send my deepest sympathy to you and all that was part of Maddie. I hope it´s ok to call her that being I did not know her personally I did however learn of her Passing and was so really moved with her story, I truly am, so when I got a notification to see future edits (I guess a way to keep it going!) just the words used to try to express the never ending love you have is so powerful! I can feel the love the life she lived in just the words I read about her! I too know...

I didn´t know Madelyn. But I feel her story to my core. I am in recovery and reading your beautifully written words brought tears to my eyes this early Tuesday morning. I hope you know she knew your love had no bounds. I would like to thank you for speaking with so much compassion and for using her tragic passing as a moment to shed light on those in the dark. Today I'll think of a woman, daughter, mother and friend that I never got the chance to meet.

Today is 10/14/2024. This memory popped up in my email. I live in South Dakota and was obviously touched by Madelyn's story so many years ago. I just re-read her obituary and it truly brought tears to my eyes. Such a lovely and well-written obituary about a beautiful soul. I will continue to pray for Madelyn and all of those suffering from addiction and the hold it has on so many people. Thinking of you all as you continue to celebrate the gift she was to so many people.

Sending love to Madelyn´s family. Hoping you are all doing well. I did not know Madelyn but was so touched by her story and the love expressed in her obituary. She is in my heart. Molly Brown, California

Although you'll forever remember your precious daughter with love and longing to see her again, I pray that each anniversary of her passing helps to heal your broken heart just a little. I didn't know her but from your description, she sounds as if she spread joy and happiness wherever she went.

I am a stranger who came across Maddie´s story a few years ago. Maddie touched my heart and I have thought of her many times since. When I get a reminder that her anniversary is here, my heart breaks all over again for her family. Reading about her life makes me feel like I knew her. I wish her struggles did not have such a hold on her. She sounds like such a beautiful person and could have been anyone´s daughter. Wishing her family strength from a stranger.

Thinking of you, Maddie. Sending you love, wherever you are.

Maureen,
I am so sorry for your loss and pray that you and your family find peace, knowing she is in the arms of her heavenly Father.
God bless you
