Dear Lee, Tom, Dan, Randy and families,
My condolences and deepest sympathies in this time of loss. Mady was truly a special and unique woman and I have fond memories of the times our families spent together over the last forty-some years. She could light up a room and fill it with laughter, and some of us will never forget the surprise phone calls of her singing a birthday greeting. She was the dearest friend to my mom and we will miss her. May you find comfort and joy in knowing she is at rest. Peace to your hearts. In my prayers, with love, Gina

My mother and I are so sad to hear about Madalyn. We had many fond and crazy memories about her. We spent a few vacations with her in Avalon and worked many years with her at John Allen's. She was a fun and kind hearted woman and we are so glad we were lucky enough to know her and have her be a part of our lives.
To Lee and the boys,
She was very proud of you and loved you all so much. You must have so many wonderful memories of her. Don't ever forget them. Take care and thank you for sharing your wife and Mother with us.

May Mady rest in peace. She was the best friend a person could have. One of the most caring and unselfish person you could meet. She called herself my big sister. My sincere sympathy goes to Lee, Tom, Daniel, Randy and their families. I love you Mady and always will. Thank you for being my best friend.

Dan and family, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I recently lost my father and know he is in a much better place as is your mother. "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord"! My deepest sympathy to you all. Love, Lisa
