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.

In Memory of my friend Carole, who left this world Friday, January 10th, 2020

Always loved, ❤ Never Forgotten, Forever Missed

 Carole loved all things BEACH and all things WATER.  She did NOT love shoveling snow, but she did it anyway.

 

Carole loved her daughters, her grandchildren and great grand and she loved her phone, in fact they all did, as you can see by the concentration on family PHUN at the reunion. . Bottom right, Carole, her brother Pat and his wife Madeline.

Bottom left is Catherine, Madeline, Carole

None of the photos shown were taken by me, they are all from family shots over the years, either emailed to me or from FB.

Vintage 1960 in the black and white. I will not give the year on Pat and Madelime

Little did I know, in 1959 when I became lifetime friends with Madeline in Junior high, and later in life with her husband Pat,  that when the internet came into our lives, we would form an email group called 5 Sistas and keep in daily contact by emails and Facebook for many years.

The members consisted of Madeline, her husbands sister, Carole, her cousins Ann (missing from photos, she did not do photos) and Catherine, and me, Sandra the MadSnapper. 

All five of us shared the hometown of Savannah, GA.

Each day since 2006, emails would fly back and forth, with so many replies to replies from 5 of us, it was sometime difficult to follow them. 

Our Sista' group has now dropped to the two of us, Madeline and Myself.

First we lost Ann, then Catherine and now our Carole is in heaven with her husband and son.

You can tell by the photos our lives were lived and shared with photos...

All five of us in different towns and far apart, but still together.

Each time I got new photos, I played with them. Now I use them as sweet memories!

UPDATE! I found a photo of Ann and Carole
