A most thoughtful, jovial, amazingly kind and incredibly generous person...she was a blessing to her family, friends and probably many she didn't even know. Keep smiling Madeline...you made the world a better place.

From childhood to adulthood, you were always a wonderful friend. I'll miss "talking dolls", haring our mini grade school reunions and your zest for life. Heaven has some nice soft clouds for you to rest on! Peace my friend. My condolences to the family, you took such good care of her and made her so happy. She constantly bragged about you girls, you were the light of her life. Jerry, thank you for making these past years happy for her. Hugs

Dear Family, Madeline will surely be missed by you all. So happy I was able to be with her at our Mercy reunion. She was a big help in finding several of the classmeates we were having a hard time finding. She had such a grand spirit and is a beautiful person on the outside and in. She will be missed.
