A silly, sweet, loving child, Madeline spread joy to all who knew her. She was always quick to give a hug or share a silly song. She loved jumping in muddy puddles, balloons, the color red, playing with friends, and snuggling. Most of all, she took great pride in being a big sister and loved her family, drawing them in pictures over and over.
Just before her fourth birthday, she was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor, passing away suddenly two short months later.
As her family and friends began to grieve the loss of this bright light, it became apparent the need to help fill in the gaps in care surrounding the loss of a child. In her memory, Madeline’s Mission was formed to help share the kindness Madeline spread throughout her short life– and help provide hope to families surviving child loss.
