Mrs. Madura was always there for my Mom,Nancy Gall, through thick and thin.They would always be there for each other,to pick each other up when one of them needed an ear,or have laugh about things going on to let off a little steam.It was years before I realized how special their relationship is.Mrs.Madura being the perfect friend with such down to earth charisma,love,and Humor for family and people dear to her like my Mom.Thanks Mr.s Madura, for putting up with me when I invaded your house as a kid when my Mom had another sisterfor me and you graciously took on another Boy for a few days.I feel very blessed that my Mom had such dear friend that never ceased for more than a half century.What an example of true Friendship. God Bless you Mrs. Madura!!
