I have never seen a child who had as much love for life as Madison. My Madison and her were two peas in a pod. They thought they were little DIVAS, and they ruled the world. We will miss her deeply and we love you guys so much. Please call and know that all of you are in our prayers. And most of all we know that miss Matula is watching over all of us. Probably laughing as we fumble through life.... We are truly blessed to have known her and loved her

One of my first introductions to Madi was listening to Kenny's story about Madi's awesome soccer skills (I think she was 4), and her equally excellent talents as a prima ballerina! The sparkle in his eye when he talks about Madi is infectious, and I always got a kick out of picturing Kenny cheering Madi on, no matter what she was up to!
What it must have been to be Madi and be so adored by her father and family... so unconditionally loved and supported from the day of her birth. That much love doesn't go away, she takes it with her, and it stays to help you remember and smile everytime you think of Madi and the joy she brought you.
All my prayers and condolences to you and your family.

We've never met Madi (our daughter will be a new student at Campbell Elementary this year) but we are sooo saddened by her passing; our hearts ache for you. Judging by the photos of her life, though, Madi lived a full and beautiful life during her short time here. And we can only hope that knowing that brings you some level of peace and comfort. Please know that there are at least four perfect strangers out there praying that your pain will lessen with each passing day.

Dear Kelli and Kenny, I have never had the pleasure of meeting you, nor your beautiful daughter, Madi, but I feel as if I know you just a bit through my dear friend, Elfriede, who has shared your story with me over the last months. I am so very, very sorry for your loss, yet understand how proud and happy you are to be Madi's mom and dad. I know she is not hurting or suffering in any way now...I hope that is some comfort as you miss her so dearly. You and Madi have been (and will continue to be) in my thoughts and prayers. I hope your hearts hurt less each day and are able to smile more and more as you remember your special times together.
Sincerely,

Kenny the last time I saw Madi was at Payton's 1st birthday party and she was playing and having fun; not a care in the world.

I never had the privilege of meeting Madi but kept up with her progress through a member of my home team, Mike Reese,who requested prayers for her several months ago. So I did feel a bond with her and was so sad to hear that she had left us. Be comforted knowing that she is safe in the arms of Jesus who so loved little children.You and all who loved Madi will be in my thoughts and prayers

Kelli and Kenny, I know that words seem insufficient right now. John Lennon wrote that life is what happens while you're busy making other plans. I know this doesn't fit into any plans you made. Outliving your child is never supposed to happen.
Those of us who were blessed to know Madi since she was born and to watch her grow into a beautiful and vibrant little girl will never forget her.
There is a higher purpose in this. I will leave it to God to reveal that purpose to you. I know He will.
In the mean time, please know that there are many who mourn with you. That Madi was so loved by so many speaks well of both her and her parents.

For the Madi Matula family but especially for Kat.
I can see Madi now asking for pink wings instead of the standard issue white. She brought the greatest joy to all the lives she touched and a lot of us had never met her but feel we know her well because of her loving grandmother. She is at peace. God bless you in your time of sorrow, my prayers are with you.
