It's with a heavy heart I'm sharing thoughts with my beloved Carnes' family, Mike & Rhonda, Jack, Mike, Randa, Ava & Nolan, Shane & Amanda, and all the others out there. Broken hearts are so painful, yet there is no way around it when you lose someone as caliber as Madeleine, Mom, Grandma, Great Grandma, Friend. I pray for all of you that the old saying " time heals all wounds" comes at GODS speed. Madeleine loved my daughter. Madeleine loved our grandchildren, and that's so special since not many children get to experience the love of a Great Grandma. I remember when Madeleine was sport enough to let Ava put makeup all over her face at a birthday party. I remember when Madeleine was so kind to me when I was lost. Meeting someone so beautiful inside and out is rare. Indeed I am privileged having known Madeleine Carnes! Infact, I want to be her when I grow up. I have to say I get a chuckle that she put down the rule on her burial. I'm getting my notebook together, and it's going to be just like Madeleine's!
