In Memory of Madeline

 


Madeline Cetti, August 1, 1944 - August 4, 2023

Catherine, Ann, Madeline, Sandra, Carole
I added Ann and me in a photo of the 3. Carole is Madeline's Sister in Law, Catherine and Ann her cousins. I was the only one not kin by blood, but by love.

My Dear friend of 64 years went home to be with the Lord, she was living in so much pain, Rest now In Peace, with no pain, Madeline.
In Memory of My Friend Madeline, and also in memory of Catherine, Ann, Carole, all of whom have left us to be pain free in heaven. 
Savannah Born, Georgia Girls to the core, the 5 of us keeping in touch through email for many years.
We called ourselves Savannah Sisters for our Group email.

We lived in other cities, all we had to do was type Sistas in email and let the replies to replies fly.
I am now last Sista Standing.

for the story of the Sista's follow this link to 2020 HERE 

She leaves behind her husband of 60 years, Pat, their three sons, their wives and eight grandchildren.
They met when Madeline was 15 and have loved each other ever since.
They belonged to each other for all but 15 of Madeline's 79 years on this earth.

A lovely tribute to your friend(s) with whom you shared so much over the years. It is a very strange feeling when friends with whom you shared a lot of memories pass away.
