2 Thessalonians 1:2 "May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace." I pray this word to Greg, Betty, Janice, Vera, and Family. Cousin Mage is loved; that is the name my mother called her Mage. We miss her now and always. Cousin Madeline served Wesley Chapel AME Zion Church as one of our Mothers with love, "backbone," and generosity. She is a co-founder of Wesley Annual Women's Day. Those who love her look forward to "walking around Heaven" with her. We must love the Lord and obey Him if we are to join Madeline as she "walks around Heaven" Love. Betty Delarus Cox Murphy

Our hearts were forever changed by the kindness and grace of this beautiful lady. She appeared, like an angel, when our daughter was born and showed me how to mother my newborn and calmed my fears. I will never forget crying when I took her home and will remember Miss Madeline all of my days. She was a true gift from God.
