Madison Rachel Lasley

LASLEY, Madison Rachel - Of Flint Township, age 21 months, received her angel wings on Sunday, April 17, 2011. She is now eternally safe and pain-free in the arms of Jesus. Funeral service was held 11a.m. Wednesday, April 20, 2011 at the Swartz Funeral Home, 1225 West Hill Road, Flint, Pastor and Grandfather Mark Lasley officiated. Burial in Crestwood Cemetery. Although Madison's life was short, the number of people who were touched by her life is many. Madison was born on July 20, 2009 to Joseph and Rebecca Lasley. From the moment she was born her parents and grandparents Mark and Rhonda Lasley and Paul (Kevin) and Mandy Roop knew she was special. On July 1, 2010, Madison was diagnosed with Juvenile Myelomonocytic Leukemia (JMML). From the day she was diagnosed she endured multiple hospital stays and two bone marrow transplants. Madison's strength, courage and fight was an inspiration to us all and proved what a mighty warrior she was. When baby brother Josiah was born, she finally had a playmate. She always had a smile and a hug for her aunts and uncles: Jon Lasley, Krista Lee, Brian Roop and Rachel Roop. Madison's life and the testimony of Christ through her parents are an inspiration to her great-grandparents Jim and Frieda Beckman, Ken and Peggy Johnson, Marie Roop and her many aunts, uncle, cousins. Madison was preceded in death by her great-grandparents, Warren and Bobbie Lasley, and James (Buddy) Roop. The family would like to give a very special thank you to the staff and Doctors on the 7th floor and Pediatric I.C.U. at the University of Michigan Mott Children's Hospital. Their love and care for Madison over the past six months will never be forgotten. They will always have a special place in our family's hearts. We would also like to thank all our friends, family, and Bethany Baptist Church, where Joseph and Rebecca are members, for their support and prayers during Madison's journey.
