Michelle, Anderson and Ryan,



My heart just breaks at the thought of you living without sweet Maddie. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I loved having Anderson in my class at Trinity and am glad that I got to meet your family. I lost my husband almost two years ago. Death makes no sense to me. If there is anything you need even if it is just to talk please call me.



With deepest sympathy and love,



Missy Slater

To Michelle, Ryan, the Cox family, the Chenault family, those that knew Madeline, those that only knew of Madeline, and all affected by this difficult loss,



You are in all of my thoughts and all of my prayers. Yesterday, I went to St. Anne's Church in Houston and said a rosary for Madeline and you. ...For a Catholic, that's a long prayer. I will go again today.



I am so sorry for your loss. I send all of my love and all of my hope to you. If there is any support you need from me, you can have it, today, tomorrow, or somewhere down the line.



Words and actions probably don't comfort as much as they should right now. I wish anyone and everyone could do something to help. I will pray for your entire family. Stay close to them. I will pray for your spirit. Be gentle with it right now. I will pray for Madeline.



Peace in Christ,



Danny Green

Ryan and Michelle,



Skip and I are so very, very sorry for the loss of your beautiful baby girl. Little Madeline is in our prayers, as well as you and your family.



As you know, words cannot express our deepest sympathy.



Maybe in time we will know God's plan for beautiful Madeline becoming one of HIS Angels, Cherubs, at this time.



Love,



Skip and Gwen
