Cannot express my sadness in Madelyn’s passing – she was one of the gentlest,kindest souls I knew and always there for others. I consider myself extremely lucky to have been able to call her a friend – she will be missed by many and especially me. John & I have many fond memories of Madelyn and we will smile when we think of them. God speed Madelyn.
Thank you for being the wonderful, funny best friend to my Mom and the best of Aunties to me. You will be missed in a very big way.
Love
