I think about you often Mrs. BIshop. It still hurts knowing I can't see you when I visit Milwaukee. Yet, I rejoice knowing that I will see you in our Father's Kingdom someday.

To the Bishop and Love Family: I could say so many wonderful things about Mrs. Bishop, but the things that stand out the most is her sweet and loving spirit. She was the first to welcome me at the door into St. Mark AME Church, and now God has welcomed her into His kingdom and has set her free from the cares of this world. May you be comforted with the love of God during your time of bureavement.

To: The Bishop family in tribute to Madie Wee Bishop;

I was made aware of Mrs. Bishop illness about a week ago or so and be here to celebrate her Homegoing Celebration feels like a dream, that I will soon wake up from.

Mrs. Bishop who gave me the privilege of calling her mom, was and will always be an inspiring force in my life to succeed in any positive endeavours. She raised me as one of her own children and helped to mold and shape my life in so many wonderful ways. If you were around Mrs. Bishop, she had a way of making you feel special regardless of what your present circumstances may have been.
She was diligent in her business and a example of godly living not only in words but also in deeds.
Mrs. Bishop was without question, a VIRTUOUS WOMAN. If you read Proverbs 31:10-31, these scriptures paints the potrait of this blessed woman of God.
Thank you Mrs. Bishop, (Mom) for sharing your love with me. You will always be with me in everything good thing I do.
There is so much more I want to say but
I'll conclude by saying this; I LOVE YOU AND WILL DO MY BEST IN LIFE TO MAKE YOU PROUD! Thank You so much...

To the Family of Mrs. Madie Wee Bishop,

You have our Deepest Sympathy as you go through this time of grief. Words seem so insignificant at a time like this but we wanted to let you know that God will be with you and carry you during the grieving process. We have lived long enough to know and understand that God wants all of us to be in his heavenly Kingdom. In life we have trials and tribulations and at the end of life God allows us to have everlasting love and life in spirit. We understand that there isn’t much one can say to ease your loss but we want you to know our thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of sorrow. We will always remember the times we spent with the Bishop family when we were stationed with the Military on Silver Spring Drive in Milwaukee. We did not know anyone in Milwaukee when we arrived but the Bishop Family became our Family and soon afterward Perry Bishop became our Fraternal Brother. Mother Madie Bishop was one of the most loving and caring people we knew in Milwaukee. She helped us get through the trials and tribulations of being without our immediate Family. We all loved Mother Bishop but God loved her best. You will be in our prayers.

To Madie's Family...
I was honored to know Madie through Carlson Specialty Temps and NCIM. What made Madie so special is that she gave her undivided attention to you when she spoke to you. She had great listening skills and her conversation was tailor-made to the recipient. She was able to meet people at their level and in time bring people to a higher standard through her own example. She inspired people to grow, and out of love, Madie gave them enough courage to believe in themselves even if they couldn't. Madie made her life a ministry. She gave God credit and considered herself blessed.
To me, Madie will always be the lit candle in this sometimes confused and darkened world. She is a shining example to me of LOVE. I will miss her dearly.

Walter and Family,

Thank you for allowing Madie to touch our lives. She is what I call my NCiM "Angel", as it was Madie that first introduced me to NCiM and the group of people that I now consider great friends.

She is a true gem and we absolutely love her. Heaven has gotten a great gift~

To Madie's family: My deepest sympathy to you all. I only knew though my work when she demoed for the store I worked at. She always brought smiles and cheerfulness to those around her. I looked forward to seeing her weekly at our store and I will miss her dearly. She will be missed by many.

To Walter and Family: My deepest sympathy to all of the family. I have only known Madie a short 8 months and I am blessed that she came into my life. Knowing her showed me many things about life and how to live it to the fullest. We had just seen each other while shopping at the Pick n Save on Brown Deer Road just a month ago. She was vibrant as always, so this has come as a shock. I was informed a few weeks back of her condition and had a hard time with the news. Life is so precious and I know the entire family has been blessed having her in their lives - always remember! I worked and knew Madie through New Concepts in Marketing - the customers loved her for sure and she will be missed.

I work until 6pm and I hope to get over Friday as soon as I can.
