Dear Maddy,
I will always cherish the many memories we shared — you opened your home and heart to me at a time when i desperately needed the love and guidance of a “mother”… You clothed me, fed me, gave me a place to sleep—where i could be a “kid” and simply have fun … you gave me the little sister i never had in your loving daughter, Sandy. We had wonderful conversations and i learned so much just by watching you…. i always admired your sense of fashion and your terrific house-keeping skills… i learned the RIGHT way to drink coffee …pure and simple; black! i’ll never forget your hostess skills…. your grilled English Muffins were the BEST!
i will MISS you dearly Maddy…it’s comforting to know that your spirit lives on in your daughter, grand-daughters and great grandchildren…. And i hope when people meet me that they can also see a glimmer of you in me…. May God Bless You and May you
Rest in Peace
