Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you. I remember Madge from my early years in practice. She was that guardian angel on Labor & Delivery when residents were first starting out and always had a kind word for those around her.

Some called her Mother Madge... I called her Madgomatic because of her ability to get her patients delivered. It was a pleasure to know and work with this great woman. You will be missed!

from your cousin bill. I previously submitted my comments but hit the submit button before I had proof and corrected my comments. here is my corrected comments:
Doug, Dan, and Liz your mother was my aunt who was more than aunt over the last 30 years because she filled in the many pieces i missed from my mother,your Aunt Ruth. She filled in the nurse role that my mother provided as well as a link to family history and was a comfort that I experienced when my wife went down. She certainly will be missed here and I know that she will be missed in your household and know that you wish you had her one more day but now is that time when we reshape our memories of our past and move foward knowing that we certainly been bless by this wonderful lady. your cousin Bill Evans
