As friends for over 50 years, Madeline and I shared many laughs. I admired her positive attitude about life, but her delightful quirkiness is what I will most remember. My treasured memories of her as a true and trusted confidante will never fade. I was blessed to have had her in my life. May you find eternal peace my dear, dear friend. Love, Candy
