faithful and loving friends; and
WHEREAS, Madison was strong in her faith and mighty in the belief to do good
unto others; and

cheerleader, and spirit leader; and
WHEREAS, not only was Madison the homecoming queen, she was also a queen for
those young men and women who did not always "fit the mold"; and
WHEREAS, she affectionately became known as the "Corndog Queen" due to her
love of Sonic corndogs and she used that title to affect positive change and good for others;
and
WHEREAS, Madison was funny, vivacious, and always carried a willing heart; and
WHEREAS, those attributes were God-given and made her a warrior and a priceless
treasure for the Word of truth and trust; and
WHEREAS, Madison had a light that shown from within her and a special kind of
brightness even on the darkest day, and her laughter and sweetness could comfort the heart
while in her presence; and
