Madison, Granddaughter # 2 arrived on August 29, 1996. Alyssa, had prayed & prayed for a baby sister and here you were. We walked into the delivery room as the nurse was placing you under the light. Papa lifted Alyssa up to see you & she said, "There She Is". It's like she had waited all this time for you and now you were, " REAL." Alyssa was so excited to have a baby sister to love and help care for. Oh Yes, we took 200 pictures the first day and showed them to everyone we knew (and didn't know). What a Beautiful Baby Girl you were from the very moment you arrived and you still are. You amazed all of us, as you set up, walked, talked, ran, did things way before babies usually do. As you grew a little older, you would follow behind Alyssa all the time. You have always loved babies and want to help with them. When you were about 15 1/2 months old, your baby sister, Abigail arrived. From the moment she arrived, you wanted to hold her, feed her, look after her...and before your mama new it, you were changing her diaper. Then, Elijah arrived in 2003. It was, " I'll Take care of the baby" all over again. Madison, you have always wanted to care for babies. It is so apparent, that you love Alyssa, Abigail & Elijah with all your heart. It is clear the way you love & respect your daddy & mama. We are so thankful, that they strive daily to lead you in a walk with the Lord. You have brought such joy & blessings to our hearts, as we have watched you grow into the most Beautiful, sweet, loving, caring, respectful young lady you are today. We have admired how you use your intelligence to better things & to help others. The way you are always thinking ahead, of the situation at hand, ( it's; "what if & what if "; your brain wheels are always turning). Papa & I are so proud of you. In many ways you are quiet; then there are times when you are the jokster in the room. Papa loves that in you!! You are happiness, joy & love wherever you are. Papa & I have loved the past 11 years with you in our lives....you are a delight!! Madison, you have a strong spirit. Always give that spirit, to the Lord and allow Him, to daily control your life. Papa & I will continue to pray for you daily. We love you with all our hearts!!!!!!
