Eve,
I’m sorry to hear of your loss, my condolences to you and your family.
Eve,
So sorry for the passing of your mother, I know how you feel as I am still grieving my mom. No one can ever replace your mother but be encouraged that as each day passes you will be able to remember her with smiles and laughter and not heartache and tears. God bless and I will be at the wake Friday evening.
Love,
Lauren

Christopher, Eve, Roger and all of Madeline’s family,
Praying for all of you at this very difficult time. Your Mom was one of the best gifts from heaven any of us could ever hope to have. Her sweet laugh and beautiful smile were like no other. If one was lucky enough to meet her, you would walk smiling and knowing you just encountered a little piece of heaven. She is the very reason many of us wanted to go to clinicals, we wanted to hang out with Madeline! I am so thankful to have known your Mom for the last few years. She made my life better just to have known her and I will keep the memories alive for a lifetime. Now you can watch your “Lost” episodes without any interruptions Madeline 🙂 Love you xoxoxo
Madeline’s family,
So sorry for your loss. Madeline was one of my clinical instructors while in nursing school. She was an amazing nurse and teacher and I will never forget her smile and laugh. She could light up a room!
Peace and Love
To The Barnes Family,
My deepest sympathy on the loss of Madeline. She was a wonderful and caring Nursing Instructor at Laboure and will be surely missed. Madeline was great to me and I always cherish what she not only taught me as a Nurse but as a person everyday. I will always be proud that she touched my life in such a profound way. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

My deepest sympathy for the loss of your mother. I have had the privilege of working and sharing an office with Madeline at Laboure for the last few years, where we became great friends. We shared alot of laughs and great lunches together, and we enjoyed teaching Skills Lab together. I am already missing her.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. God bless.
