Mom (Lola) was also very fond of her and looked forward to chatting with her whenever they made the trip to Darby. Love you lots Aunt Madge, you will be greatly missed.

I remember going to this really cool house when I was a kid and it was a A frame house and it was were the family would gather and it was MadgeSwede's house. I remember her as a little worker in all she did and my fondest memories were listening to her tell about the pictures on her walls that Merrill had done, I will miss visiting with her and Alfreda when I go to Centerville, the last time I was there at Thanksgiving she knew who I was and we had a nice chat, she was a spiritual inspiration as she laid there and talked to me. She will be missed. Posted by Dorothy Simmons - Harrison, AR - niece March 28, 2013
