Our deepest sympathy to you Dave and your family. The occasional conversations with Madeline over the last 10 years we’re always interesting. Always a friendly greeting with a smile. You both are wonderful neighbors. We grieve with you.
You all have my deepest sympathy for the loss of you Wife and Mother. I worked with Maddie at Rite Aid. She always had a smile and kind words for everyone. She has been missed at work since she left Rite Aid, and now she will forever missed. My heart breaks for your family and the pain you will have to face without her.
I’ll miss you my friend, I’ll miss our daily walks in the neighborhood and coaxing you to come to my puppy parties. You were always quick with a smile and fun to be with.
Dave,
I am so sorry for your loss. I will miss Mad very much. She was always kind, thoughtful, and always pleasant to be around. I always looked forward to our family get-togethers knowing I would be seeing you guys there.
Her memory is held deep within my heart.
I pray for you and strength to help you through this difficult time.
My thoughts and prayers are with you, Tracy, and David.
With Love and Sympathy,
Donna
Although it’s difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,
May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.
