My deepest condolences to Jim, Chris and the Masse family. I always enjoyed my visits and various discussions of many topics with Madge. The best part was always the hugs at the beginnings and conclusions of the golf seasons. I often felt of Madge as my second mother. She will be missed by many.
Condolence From: Madeleine Burns
Saddened to learn of the passing of Madge. We had a bond “the same namesake” and we often referred to that. Always difficult to say “goodbye” – irregardless of age. We have all suffered the loss of loved ones and I find solace in revisiting with the many memories I have of them. As well knowing that they have gone to a better place and watching over us is also comforting. She is now with her beloved Archie. RIP
Sincere condolences to all.
