I just wanted to tell Madeline's family how much we appreciated her. We are members of Bethany and we were so happy to have her worship with us. As in regular Presbyterian fashion people usually sit in the same pews each week. Madeline always sat on the inside area of our pew. We sit on the other end. It was such a great pleasure to see her each sunday and be able to interact with her some. We received many blessings from her , not just a few in the form of cards for many occasions. She was a wonderful sweet Christian lady. I know you already know that, but wanted you to know that she will have a place in our heart for a really long time. Looking forward to seeing her in heaven one day. What a great lady.

This message is for all of Madeleine's children - but especially for Karen, with whom I graduated from high school. Madeleine was such a blessing to all of us at St. Thomas' - especially to my family when my father died. I am keeping you all in my prayers as you mourn the loss of this dear woman - and I pray that your memories of good times will keep you warm as time passes. Godspeed.

All the years that Madeleine worked at St, Thomas church we worked together. She worked so hard for us that I don't know how she had time to do all the other things she did for her own church and her family. And she was the most faithful friend. When I heard that she was ill, I realized that I should have known something was wrong. It was the first time in 19 years that I hadn't had a card and note on the anniversary of Bob's death. I will miss her very much. And I have the pictures she took the last time we had lunch--I think it was early May this year. I send all of you my sympathy.

Madeleine was such a dear to our family. She stayed in contact with my mother (Helen Cross) prior to her death in 2011 and after my parents died, she sent me notes on their birthdays and the anniversaries of their death. What a sweet friend! We always loved hearing from her and will miss that contact. We pray for all to feel the comfort of her God as you go through this time of sadness. I look forward to seeing her in glory! Sheryl & George Farquhar
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Mrs. Frame was a lovely woman whom the whole office looked forward to seeing every six months. In spite of her 87 years, she had excellent teeth and meticulous home care. She never missed a checkup. I really enjoyed her pleasant personality and warm sense of humor. Mr. and Mrs. Frame were patients of my dad's for a long time -- our records go back to 1963! When I joined my dad in 1986, I was the "new kid," but the Frames always treated me very kindly. To the Frame family: please accept my mother's and my condolences. Your parents were wonderful people. Although I don't know you guys, my mom always said, "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." Sincerely, Michael Wahl

I'll miss Madeleine - Red Hat gatherings at Ware Village won't be the same without her cheerful presence.

i only knew Madeleine for 2 Yrs. she was my immediate neighbor and was the 1st person who took me to her church and with whom I ate many meals. She was such a Godly person who strengthened me in my spiritual walk. We went many places in the 2 yrs before she was taken ill. I miss her terribly and still look over at her darkened house. She was truly a blessing to me,
