Madeline, you and I became friends when I went to the school that your Mom, Betty, worked at. That was way back in the '70's and it's been almost that long since I've seen and talked to you. I just missed you by a week. I'm happy that you married and had a family. That was something that you always wanted. Remember Dave and Kenny and the "Square"? May you rest in peace, Miss Madeline. Tell your Mom and brother hi for me and we'll catch up when we meet again. God Bless You.
You always opened up your house anytime i needed it. One of the many memories i have of you is when we had that ice storm and i was working and drove and stayed at your house unstead of going home we had a blast those couple of days. So many laughs and it was something we always talked about thank you for everything Aunt Maddie Love you and miss you
my favorite memory was the yellow school bus helmet that jim would make fun of you for saying you need that yellow helmet and how i always called you large marge and how pissed you use to get mad at me i love and miss you

Mark & Markie,
We just happened to find out about this when we were looking at the website for Dawson-Wikoff. May God be with you as you remember your life with Madeline. She loved her family and camping. Keep hold of your fond memories. Again, we are sorry we did not know Madeline had passed until now. I was looking at the memories, etc. for a family member who passed this week and just happened to scroll through the obits and saw Madeline's. Again, our sincerest condolences.

Madeline, I will miss you so much. I remember our Sunday dinners we always had at your house. We had some really good times. I also loved all of our campimg trips. Remember when my mom and dad took Ryan camping when he was little and he would keep saying (oh shit). Mom said you guys laughed so much every time he said it. We had fun on our last camping trip we took with you guys a few years ago. I love you very much, and will miss you so much.

Maddie my friend,
Angel and I were just wondering about you the other day. Today Friday September 23, 2011 that you went on to Heavenly Father. I know you will be at peace and love with him.
Your fingers were the fastest I'd seen at FirsTech, where we met in .
I hope you find Peace Mark Sr and Mark Jr in knowing you will see her again. Don't be sad, rejoice for her life and the love she gave so willingly.
She opened her doors for me one year for Thanksgiving because she didn't want me to be alone.
I remember the hard time you had when the spider bit you and we almost lost you, but you were still needed here for some more time, you had more work to do before you went back home.
I'll see you again my friend,
Love,
Maria

Mark Sr., Mark Jr and family,
I am so sorry for your loss, it's been a long time since I talked to Madeline, we go back to the days when we worked at Citizen National Bank in the data enrty area, for me, that was in 1980. It was during those years that Madeline met Mark, oh how she was smitten with him and the stories she would tell. Of course, those of us who worked with her, were always in "awe" on how fast she keypunched in those data entry sheets. Of course everyone tried to keep up and surpass her, but she always left us in the dust. We had a lot of laughs back in those days. Even as our lives went different ways, she was always on my mind. May you find peace in her memories. Linda
