Maddie was vibrant and funny, smart and silly, friendly and kind. Always ready to laugh and make you laugh. She was my friend. Like so many people, I’ll miss you, Maddies. Love and support to all her family and friends, who will always carry her in your hearts.

Madison touched our lives through swim team and we are blessed to have known her. Our deepest sympathy to Ryan and Maddie’s family. Please know that you are in our prayers; and we hope that sweet memories and God’s peace will bring you comfort at this time. Sincerely, the Doyle family

Dear ones, At this difficult time, words can not fill the void. However, I do want to share something with you that my daddy taught me many years ago. He said, “If we keep the happy memories of our loved one close and share them with others, they can never really leave us.” I have tested that lesson many times over the years and found it is true. I am sure you all have many, many happy memories of Madison. Share them. Laugh about the funny experiences, learn from the lessons Madison taught, and always keep her memory close in your heart. She will continue to bring you joy and you will keep her close to you. Please know that you are all in my prayers for strength, courage, and peace. Much love to all!

Ryan and Maddie’s family, I was so saddened to hear of your loss. Maddie was so full of happiness and life, I know she will be missed dearly. May you find peace in the lovely memories Maddie has left for you. You continue in my thoughts and prayers.

Maddie, My heart is so broken and I still can’t believe you’re gone. I feel so blessed to have had you in my life as long as I did. You were the daughter I always dreamed of having and I will cherish our time together. I have so many great memories that will carry me over until we meet again. I love you always sweetheart. Brian

Maddie I can never give you enough thanks for being the best friend to my Daughter Noelle! You guys grew up together and through thick and thin you were always such a faithful friend! It is very hard to see your child hurt so terribly with the loss of your constant support and honesty! I know your spirit will continue to live inside her heart forever! I pray for for your family as they were so blessed to have you in their lives 22 years! When we bought our home in Kingswood their were two Pink Mylar balloons on the mailbox! I remember think wow twins! I still drive slowly in front of your childhood home anticipating you and Ashton to dart out in your bikes and helmets near the street! I’m in pain for your fiancé Ryan as I know the pain is unbearable! I have so many memories of you and your Family that will forever be etched in my heart! I hurt ? I can say that I will live my life more abundantly in memory of you! You lived in every moment! You did YOU! And you will continue to make this world better by making all of us want to be more like you! I love you crazy girl! I’m glad you were in our life and we had the opportunity to know and love you!

You brought so much sunshine and love to all who had the privilege of knowing you. May your families sweet and loving memories of you help sustain them in the days ahead. Our deepest sympathies to all. Richard and Bonnie Andrews

I too have a beautiful daughter with epilepsy and this is devastating to the Epilepsy community as well. Your are being covered in prayer…especially you Ashton. May God give you many wondeful memories as you celebrate your two birthdays tomorrow, May 17th. Maddie would want that and if we could see her now, I know we would find it a little easier to rejoice.

I am heartsick to learn of this devastating news. Please know I am Praying hard for all of You! Poem: THE ROSE STILL GROWS BEYOND THE WALL” Near a shady wall a rose once grew, Budded and blossomed in God’s free light, Watered and fed by morning dew, Shedding its sweetness day and night. As it grew and blossomed fair and tall, Slowly rising to loftier height, It came to a crevice in the wall, Through which there shone a beam of light. Onward it crept with added strength, With never a thought of fear or pride, It followed the light through the crevice’s length, And unfolded itself on the other side. The light, the dew, the broadening view Were found the same as they were before; And it lost itself in beauties new, Breathing its fragrance more and more. Shall claim of death cause us to grieve, And make our courage faint or fail? Nay! Let us faith and hope receive: The rose still grows beyond the wall. Scattering fragrance far and wide, Just as it did in days of yore, Just as it did on the other side, Just as it will for evermore. By: A. L. Frink

Dear Sweet Madison,We miss you so much! We are asking Jesus to give you big hugs from us today! It seems that there’s never enough time to show those we cherish how much they mean to us. It challenges us to make it happen,for we never know when Jesus will tenderly call us home. You accomplished so much and touched so many lives! We will do our best to make each day count in your honor. For those of us left behind and filled with sorrow..we will always love you and remember how much sweeter the world was with you in it! For now,until we can meet again, and try to grasp God’s plan,we can find moments, in our lifetimes, to envision your beautiful smile,and your radiant face,with the the warmth and light of God shining on you! Until we meet again…rest in peace precious girl! Forever,Kathryn and Paynes

I love you and miss you my sweet Maddie Rose. I thank God I got to be your mother for 22 years, 359 days. Fly high sweet angel! Love, Mom
