Dear Trina, Maya and John John (that's what I remember your Mom calling you, John):
My son Jimmy was at your Mom's day care 25 years ago (Tarvis and I are sisters). I had just moved to Toledo from Washington, DC, and didn't know where to turn for day care. My mother told me about Ms. Madden and I thank God for that. I could go to work with the knowledge that my son was in good hands. She also potty trained my son and fed him good meals. I also recall the beautiful flowers that she tended in her yard.
I saw Ms. Madden the beginning of this year at a craft store and she told me about her illness. We hugged and reminisced about our children. Your Mom was so proud of all of you.
May the many lives of children and families that your Mom sowed her loving heart into reap a harvest of comfort in your lives in the days ahead.
God's blessings to your family.
Love,
Angela Bailey and family

I never really got a chance to say how much I appreciated your work as a distributor, and I regret not being able to take time out to see your face, but I look forward to seeing your face when I make it home.
Love Joette
