MADELEINE KERN Obituary

KERN--Madeleine Lewis. My beautiful Madeleine. It will be so hard to go ahead without you. You were a wonderful wife for 58 years and I will never forget you. Caring, loving, sophisticated, and beautiful are only a few of the adjectives that describe you. I will miss you terribly and hopefully, we will be together in another life. All my love, Jack

She was a true one of a kind woman, loving and classy. She will be missed by many of her high school friends. This is how I will remember her, lovely and smiling at our last high school reunion in 2016.
