    The world has just lost one of its BEST women. Madeline was a very compassionate, caring, giving, yet fun-loving woman. Although I only met her just six months ago, I looked forward to seeing her smiling face as we met every morning for breakfast. The other ladies at our regular table felt the same. We will all miss her so much. Words can not adequately express the depth of our sorrow. Our condolences to her family.

    To my dear sweet family of Mrs Dickerson, my heart is broken and I am sad. She was the sweetest and kindest Lady I knew. She was always very happy and up beat and will be missed by all. May she be in the Arms of the Angels and forever in Peace. God Bless sweet Lady.
