A Ps Member Died Today

A PS Member Died Today No, not a trophy winner, Nor a contest production diva! She was Madelyn McCay. Who with the Lord, this night will have dinner. She had been fighting cancer for over two years. And not once did I hear her complain Or shed buckets of hot tears. She dreamt to live long! Madelyn wanted her comments to me, Not in an email stuffed. But in plain view for all to see? She was so proud of me. As I see you, in heaven cousin, Entreating me to smile and go on! To Learn to walk again! Fearless, in the California sun. If some comments she did not answer Probably in treatment was she. Not one to ever complain Pity, was simply not her game. She sails tonight in God’s colorful marina. Down the pier comes her husband Jim! So many years he has been gone. But no more~ they can watch the stars. Humming their forever. love song! 12/7/2021 Dedication to Cousin Madelyn, from Cousin Panagiota.

very sorry that she has died. I hope she was not in too terrible pain. Two years fighting cancer is so sad. Yes, she is in heaven now. I am going to go see one of her poems right now. This was a lovely tribute for her, Pangie.

The amazimg thing. Madelyn never once Complained about a thing. That was not her way.... She wanted to be on earth as long as possible. And I guess she was. She thought of others before herself to the very end. I was blessed to have her as a Cousin.she loved,flight, the stars, water and animals. Pangie xoxo

P.S what a fantastic summary of the poem. A fun Lady, Maggie was. Even in the midstof pain and angst. She had a sense of humor. Most people adore feeling sorry for themselves, not her! She would look for ways to make folks happy despite the cancer....She probably is the heroine of my lifetime. She was not cheap with compliments. I see Maggie and In pink tutus. Lil ballerinas. Later figure skaters. How blessed I. was PS. Love.Pangie xxoo

You make me cry, Belle. She was a good looking blond, who always saw the best, in even the worst situtations. We were ballet dancers, figure skaters and loved dance, she was an accomplished pianist, her husband put on air shows in Wisconsin. Cancer took her husbabd years ago. Now, together they forever can be, been crying all day. Shewas great fun. Love,Pangie
