To Larry, Chuck and Doyle and their families; to Ben and Julia, Gray and Brenda and their families:
Robert Frost wrote that 'nothing gold can stay.' Madalene was one of those priceless nuggets shaped by God's providence that made for good and a better world wherever she was. Whether a sister, a mother, a wife, a daughter, or a friend, her word was her word and flowed into kind neighborliness for those around her. Our world will lose a little radiance with her passing but this place is better for all for her having been here. I will miss her as a sister whom I wished I could have known better. Perhaps that is the way for all of us. We do with the time we have, but let's treasure what we do know and what we do have. In a brighter place where death has no dominion, maybe then, we can make up the moments we wish we still could have. May God's comfort in Christ, envelop you in this sad but reverent moment. Beverly, Sam, Michael, and Joel think of you.
Sincerely,
Jerry Little
