So many like my family who's lives you touched here on earth are mourning your loss. We're sad that you are no longer physically here with us, but the love you've shown will live on in our hearts forever. Yes, the sadness is great, but there is happiness knowing you are re-united with Mr. Steve. Those who live in the Lord never see each other for the last time.
Say hello to all of our family members up there. I'm sure you're a welcome hand in heaven's kitchen!
Sincerely,
Buddy & Denise Breen and family. XOXOX

So very sorry to hear of Aunt Madge's passing. I have such wonderful memories of Aunt Madge & Uncle Steve. Blessed to know that she will be with Uncle Steve & Kevin again.

My heart is both sad and elated. I have known Madge King since I was a small child having lived just 3 doors away until 32 years ago. She was loving and kind, a pillar of the community. Her door was always open and there was always room for 3 or 4 more at their table. I know, I sat there many times and so did my kids. I knew that when The Lord called her home she would take "The Express" to Heaven. I am elated that she no longer suffers and she is reunited with her beloved husband. I keep picturing them kneeling praying The Rosary together before The Blessed Mother with a smiling Jesus looking upon them. My heart goes out to her big wonderful family, follow her example and keep praying. God Bless you all. Carolyn Burmeister Bollino
