I have not seen Madeline in years, she was affectionately called "Aunt Nooney" by her nephew when I knew her. She was sweet, loving and kind and she will be missed. We haven't seen her since her great niece was about 3 years old, but just recently came in contact with her again. Rest in peace old friend.

Madeline gave 100 % of her heart and love to everyone. She never held a grudge even when she was hurt by some. Always forgiving, ready to support those in need. Truly she was a gift from God to all of us who were lucky enough to be in her short life. We will never loose Madeline, she will always be in our hearts forever. Some day I hope we meet again my dear friend!
