I'm so sorry to hear of Madge’s passing. Loosing a loved one is never easy. I lost my dad in 2010, and my mom in 2012. After my losses, reading Revelation 21:3,4 gave me real comfort. It says: And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. I hope reading these verses also give you comfort during this difficult time. GW

So sorry for your loss may you find peace and comfort in the words spoken at 2 Corinthians 1:3 & 4" ( 3) Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, (4 ) who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God

Dear family and friends,
I was saddened to hear of Madge's passing. She was such a great woman and I enjoyed being with her as she volunteered at the Big Flat Senior Center for many years. She really cared about the center and the people who came there. Some of my best memories of her is how she would talk of Lisa and Will. We would laugh a lot. I know she will be missed greatly and you are all in my prayers for God's peace and comfort.
In Christ,
Kelly Reves

My heart is breaking for the family, but I know she is in a better place. I have so many wonderful memories and I spent many nights at her house. From the time Lisa and I rode with her after school while she delivered Avon, and all the way through school, her memory will forever be etched in my heart. RIP
