Recently read a sentiment I thought you might enjoy reading. I'd like to share it with you: "Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy."

Kim, John and Riley,
Had to let you know again how very sad I feel at Madi's passing. Never had the pleasure of meeting her, but thru Sherri sharing stories about the girls, I felt I knew her.
Just remember, memories that hurt so bad right now will someday be cherished treasures for all of you.
I hope God's love will help you through this sad time. God's blessings.

I was so sorry to hear of Madi's passing. We thought of you often when we lived in Hobart. I can't imagine the loss you are feeling but you most know she is in a painless place now and you will see her again someday. As we continue our medical journey with Austin I will never forget the U of C or meeting you all there. I pray you all find peace and understanding in this difficult time.

May God hold your hand through this time of need. I to have lose someone whom was the dearest to me and I have found comfort in the fact that the warmth of her presence surrounds and comforts me and that it is ok to cry. It is the best way to express yourself but, even if you cry remember to laugh because it is good medcine for the heart. We go through lifestroms in this world that are not meant to bring us down but, to make us stand stronger. GOD BLESS YOU :)
