Attended the funeral of a friend’s mother at Cape Cod and the service was lovely. It was one of those exceptional services that perfectly blended religious ritual with human love and witness. The three eulogies were seamless on the part of a granddaughter and two daughters. There is always a sense of loss at any funeral but here there was also laughter and a loving testament to a life well lived.Madeline touched many lives and her presence helped form the marvelous family that she created. She will be sorely missed, but her spirit and love will continue to be the backbone of all who were privileged to know her.
