I am so happy I got to meet your mother on numerous occasions at the Hunters Club . Enjoyed listening to her sing and seeing her beautiful smile. She seemed like such a beautiful caring woman both inside and out. My condolences to you George and your family.

My singing pal "Madge". Always a delight to sing with and always a fun-loving lady. Madge (sometimes called lovingly "Maddog" because of her video of boxing a punching bag, was someone that everyone loved. She was very kind, happy and loved to sing. She always had a spark of playfulness in her beautiful eyes. Madge would always say to me, "Let's go up there on the stage and sing!" Well Madge was a singer in her younger days so she knew what she was doing on stage. She even yodeled! I will miss your smiles and hugs Madge. Until we meet again, I know you are singing for Jesus, with your husband Carlo playing the piano, and all your family and friends who are with you in Heaven. God bless you and please pray for me.
