Madge was my sister in Christ and back yard neighbor best friend all the years we lived in Norwalk. We did so much together, especially talking! I was so proud of her when she went back to college. She kindly said I didn't have to call her "Master".
Our kids were great pals too.
Robert was gone a lot with work. Madge helped fill the lonely times.
I will miss her. Peace and comfort to Brad and Chris. Love in Christ, Susan, Robert, Jeff and Johanna Kenney
