So sorry for your loss, Gary! I judt happened to see it in someone’s post on Facebook. You have my deepest sympathy. May God give you the strength to get through this time of sorrow.
We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts are with you.
It just breaks my heart that I will never get to see Madalyn or hug her anymore. Our brothers played Little League together and we became fast friends forever. You will be missed my sweet and kind friend. We will see you again….

Madalyn was a classmate of mine at SJC for many years, and never failed to deliver
a funny story or a joke. She was pleasant to be around. My deepest condolences to her family.
She was a fun volunteer in the cafeteria. I loved hearing her and Karen talk about the who’s and what’s of Bellaire. I will her not being at our dinners.
Madge was my Moms best friend. Oh the stories they would tell! So many laughs, so many fond memories of her! I know that my Mom and Gram were waiting for her at the gates of Heaven and what a celebration they are having! Sending love and prayers to you all!
Madelyn was a wonderful lady and a great fellow choir member.
