I have recently converted to Catholicism, in part due to Madeleine. I bring her spirit to every church service and have lit many candles for her. I regret that I was not a practicing Catholic when she was alive. I would have liked to go to Mass with her. It does not seem possible that it has been 10 years since her passing. She is still alive in my thoughts, my heart, and my prayers.

I was so priviledged to spend time with Dr. Leiniger and Dr. Ray this spring. She was truly a legend and a leader.

My deepest sympathy to the family of Dr. Leininger and also to the caregivers who so diligently cared for her. I am deeply saddened by the loss of my mentor, teacher, and friend, Dr. Leininger. Her legancy and theory will live on through those of us who were privileged to be her students.

My condolences to Dr. Leininger's family, caregivers, and close friends & colleagues, as well as the entire TCN 'family'. Her passing closes an amazing life filled with contribution and accomplishment, and is also the end of an era. Her work and working with her changed my life and the course of my career. I will remember her fondly and with great respect.

Words alone cannot express my sorrow over Madeleine's passing. I am so very thankful God allowed me to know Madeleine as a friend, a mentor, and a colleague.
