Bye for now, Love Your Son, Bill - Posted by: Bill Hanson (Son) on: Jan 22, 2012

Madge and her husband were both very friendly people, and I admired Madge especially for looking after her sister in addition to her own large family. May she rest in peace!

Madge will be missed. Every time the phone rings at home we thought of Madge. You knew when she called to have a seat, cause it's going to be a long one. Madge was my mom's best and last surviving friend. Madge was feisty and full of life. Like mom she did not want an old folks home or lengthy hospital stay. I sure hope heaven has good phone service so mom and Madge can have at it. Boy could those two talk for hours. We will miss you, and we love you. - Posted by: Brian Segal (family friend) on: Jan 18, 2012
