Mom, I can feel you with me, and it makes my heart soar. I still find myself reaching for the phone, but now I realize with a smile that I can just talk to you without using a phone! I saved your voice mails, so I can hear your sweet voice whenever I want,which is often. I love you, and miss hearing your laughter.

Dear Grandma,
You will always be the funniest, strong, and loving person that I love. Regardless that your body is now gone and your soul has ascended into the heavens we, the ones left behind, will always have you in our hearts and minds. I could post all the wishes that I have that you could've been with us longer on the physical plane but the time you had with us was precious and I wouldn't trade that for anything. Thanks for being a wonderful grandma, mother, friend and loving soul.
Love you forever
I'm taking a piece of your garden with me Mom :) I love you

Mom, You probably never knew how much you meant to me. Not many people know this, but you knew Bruce and I were going to be an item before we did. You always had a 6th sense about what was going on with your family no matter how many miles away they were. I think maybe your love for angels was a premonition to the work you would be doing in Heaven. I have no doubt that you are watching over us and protecting us now from above. I will always love and cherish you and my memories of you.
Grandma Madelyn at her happiest- enjoying and loving her kids and grandkids

Madelyn, you will always remain in my heart. Our friendship was very special. We shared good times and bad times which just brought us closer together. One day we will "have fun again" together. I love you and will miss you so VERY much. Rest with the angels.

I will always remember when you told me you were praying for me since I was a baby having God watch and care for me as I grew and now I still have a peace knowing you are with Christ watching over me! I love you! Thanks always for your prayers! Your grandson

Mom, I'm really going to miss our daily phone calls. You were the best Mom ever, but you were my best friend, too. Your undying love and selflessness has been an inspiration to not just your children and grandchildren, but to everyone whose lives you've touched.
