Poem
Dearest Cousin Madelyn, Let’s sit in the rowboat, near the dawn’s verdant shore. Where a squirrel sits under the Oak, that we once...so adored! We can discuss music, or our fabulous families’activities. Later, listen to jazz, Dave Brubeck, who was our sweet, chosen proclivity. It was so fantastic, to be blessed with an intelligent cousin,like you. Teaching me, oh so many things, I did not know how to do. And,now, alas, you have gone to be in the heavens above. You, Madelyn, who was the gentlest epitome of love! Illness robbed this earth of your laughter and endless mirth. You never whined about pain, you were not one to whine about hurt! You are free now to explore the marvels of your beloved, outer space. I can see that majestic, starlit, smile on your face. We join here today at a Celebration of Your Life. The spirit of you, is here, gently erasing our earthly strife. Love, Cousin Pangie Dedeication. Madelyn was a poet here for a only a brief period of time. She was, by then, too ill to write. Like many here, she was a teacher! In Wisconsin~ who specialized in science.. Her biggest thrilll was winning an award and going to where Astronauts train. A teacher who actually taught for the joy of being with children~not a large paycheck or more days off. Madelyn also taught skiing on the weekends in the hills of Wisconsin. She had no love for those out the destroy the Comstitution or American values. She was a true Pariot. A lover of animals, she fed the deer in her backyard, loved flying, boating, water skiing and sno-shoeing! Her life was about service and love...of those countries from whence her grandparents came. Intensely, proud. And she was a world traveler, too. 5/16/2022
