There is so much I could say about Maddie. We grew up on the same street in the Bronx NewYork.
Maddie had a big effect on my life. She loved unconditionally, which is very rare to find in this world. She was a big encourager and always made me laugh.
My family loved having her over and spending time with her.
Maddie was a great witness for Jesus, and she didn't even need to speak to do it. His light shone brightly through everything she did and just how she lived and loved.
Many great memories Maddie, each one makes me smile, I remember at one of our big Christmas parties at our house Maddie standing next to me singing Feliz Navidad & trying to teach me the words, we were laughing so hard.
I know we will someday be laughing together again... on glory's side.

I have SO many fond memories of Maddy. Every time she came to my mind it always made me smile.
I remember teaching Awana with Maddie for years. We would sing songs about Jesus to the kids & dance around the room, it was fun getting the kids excited about Jesus.
I loved just being in church service with Maddie worshiping, singing, dancing & praising our Lord Jesus.
Maddie always had that beautiful gentle smile, and she loved everyone, but not like most people. Maddie REALLY LOVED & CARED about EVERYONE. She was always so welcoming & loving.
I remember she was at our house and found out that Louies worker called out, so she insisted on working on the tree crew with Louie. He said she was a hard worker & that they had a great day.
I remember each time I had my babies, Maddie would always come over when I got home from the hospital and bring her famous rice and beans because she knew it was my favorite favorite food. She would visit and help and we would just laugh and pray & enjoy each other's company.
There is no one like Maddie, she was truly one of God's greatest gifts to this world and made it a better place to live just by her being here. We will miss you dearly Maddie. Until we meet again.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m praying for all of you and I know God is present with you. I also know she is in heaven dancing and singing with the angels.
That is what I will always remember. Being a kid and seeing the light of God shine through her. Through her smile, her prayers and song.

Maddy was my best friend! I called her "My Maddy". I have many memories of her and difficult to pick just one. But here it goes. I remember going to New York to visit an outdoor event at Times Square Church. We were outside and Maddy notice a young, sad lady. Normally, people will walk right by her but not Maddy. Maddy introduce herself to the young lady and listened to her story. The next time you look over at them there was Maddy praying for her and crying with her. That was my Maddy, the most Christ like person I ever met. Miss you and love you so much my friend!
