I will never forget sitting with "demadeline" at a Syracuse football game. We were in the handicapped section on the floor of the dome. She trashed talked the Miami cheerleaders. Most fun I had at a game. Love to you all. Don

I was amazed by her desire to live out her life. Every year I knew her she told me she would have another party the following year. She was so blessed to have such a loving and caring family.

It has been so many decades since I visited Madelyn's South Salina Street home. (I think I recall the address was 5108) I was there often visiting Kerry and also enjoyed my time with her mom and dad and sister. Over the years whenever I have been on Seneca Turnpike or down toward Nedrow I would always think the times spent I with them.
My warmest condolences go to Kerry and Muriel and the family.

Thank you Richard, for the shared memories of our beloved mother, Maddy.
She lived so long and had so much spirit that we thought the day would never come, and then it came!
We realize how fortunate we were to have enjoyed her all of our life. She was not ill, and I spent the afternoon outside in the courtyard with her, the day before she began her demise.
She sang everyday of her life but it had stopped.
I asked why, and she said I'm tired out honey".
That's how she passed quietly, peacefully and
12 days later. she wore herself out.
Thank you again for remembering on behalf of our family.
Kerry
