Every year in January I think of the unfortunate and untimely death of Madison. I didn't know her personally but heard of her through the TV reports on Fox. By all accounts, Madison was a very special young woman and had a beautiful heart. I pray that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will continue to comfort her family and friends and that they will carry her memory in their hearts forever. May God continue to bless you richly.

Hello to the family of Madison Brooks! I didn't know Madison or her family but first learned of her tragic death on the Fox News program in January 2023. As the father of two grown daughters, age 40 and 23, I feel a connection to Madison, who was so much like my daughters. I think of Madison and pray for your family. That you will always remember her for the treasured gift from God that she was. Blessings to you and all your family. Dennis Kabasan; Fletcher, NC

My daughter, Olivia, was a childhood friend of Madi´s in Florida and the news of her death is heartbreaking and deeply saddening. To say that she was shocked is an understatement. Olivia has nothing but good memories of this sweet girl. We pray that God brings peace and deliverance from what most assuredly is a deeply tragic time for their family. God Bless, Monica and Chris Nixon, Olivia and Elizabeth LaFollette.

I am so very sorry for your loss. The first time I met Madi, she walked into my office like a breath of fresh air! She was so positive and happy. Madi always had a smile on her face. I feel blessed to have known her and know she is now an angel with God still smiling upon us.

Like many others I didn't personally know Madison but I saw her story on the news. When they showed her picture I was like she looks like an angel. In her pictures and now reading her obituary she's not only beautiful on the outside but on the inside as well. My prayers are with your family and that God gives you strength beyond your understanding!
