Madeline Renee stepped into this world on June 6th, 2005.  It was a wonderful and memorable day.  Maddy was delivered at 9:17 pm and weighing in at 4 pounds 10 ounces at Edwards Hospital in Naperville Illinios.

Our precious daughter passed into our Heavenly Kingdom on July 22nd, 2005.  I feel God granted me and her father a wonderful blessing to be with her as she passed.  I was holding her, kissing her and feeling with my hand each heartbeat until she opened her eyes, one last time, and looked at her daddy and me.  It was at this moment, when the beautiful angel took her last breathe and was lead home.  It was at this moment, when she passed that I know we were surrounded by angels that came to bring her home.  I miss her daily, but faithfully believe that Jesus is her playmate, comforter and friend, and He will care for her until I am again able.
