I have known Madalyn for many years. My husband Paul was the minister of music during Madalyn and Ken's participation in the music program at Calvary Baptist. She was a very sweet lady, always had a smile on her face. She will be dearly missed but oh, my, how she must be rejoicing to be in that glorious Land of Day. My prayers and love to all the family.

Mom was my best friend from the first year we met. That is a period of 57 years. In that time, she never said a disapproving or critical word to me. Our time together was peaceful and just plain fun! She loved and cared for me and our family in the best and dearest of ways. She has been, and always will be, a constant joy and the Lord's great blessing. She so patiently taught me so much. Her motto, " things have a way of working out", sustains me.
I cherished our late night talks, (when she mostly listened to me spill my cares), our fun shopping trips that were never about her, and "robe time", our special term for comfy robes, yummy snacks and favorite TV programs.
She was a joy, she gave joy, and now she is being rewarded with that same joy and peace that she gave to those who loved her here on earth. Thank you Mom, I love you.
Your Judith Anne
