This years dog show at Hopkinton Fair grounds will not be the same without Madeline. But I will remember her smiling face as she sold our catalogues. She was always available to do what she could to make our club special. One memory that I have is, at one of our Christmas partys, she made quilted pot holders for every one, I still have mine and will think of her every time I use it!
Be at peace, my friend,
Love,
