  1. My dearest Maddie,
    You share a fitting nickname as my princess does, "Moo"... You share more than most even realize. You both are beautiful children who battled more in life than anyone should ever have to. But you also taught us more in your short life than most learn in 20, 30, 40 or even 50 years.

    You smile, your laughter lights up a room much like my little princess once did... You two never met on this side of heaven but you will both soon get to dance, sing and play all day!

    I know the pain so deep in you family's heart... my promise to you is to help as much as we can... our families will forever be bonded by our beautiful children who left lasting impressions on our hearts.

    Always in our hearts,
    The Eatons ♥

  2. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. My heart aches for you. God has given you strength from the beginning, and I will pray that he holds you up. I also pray that you and your family have many more cherished moments with Maddie in the days ahead. That Maddie be comforted, and bring you joy each day that you have together.

    I am so sorry for your suffering.

  4. My beautiful Maddie,
    Even though I taught you, you have taught me more than you will ever know. You are so strong, beautiful and the most loving girl I know. I love your most amazing smiles and your additive laughter. You always make me feel better whenever I come to see you! I love your hugs and all the kisses I get from you. I love those times you are tired and just want cuddle with me and you physically wrap your arms around me. Those times we spent making wonderful music together are the times I will cherish forever and the most! You are one special girl to me and always will be!

    I promise to love your family and continue to assist them in any way I can. I promise to be there for them and to help them whenever they need me in bad times and in good times.

    You left such an amazing impact on the world in just a short seven years. You will always be one of my favorite kiddos I have ever worked with and we share a special bond I will always remember!

    I love you Maddie Moo, my sweet, sweet Maddie! Love you so much!
    I will always think of you flying somewhere over the rainbow, my love!

  5. Sweetest Maddie,
    I want to say I met you and your family back in October of 2008
    or 2009 at Ms. Lori's annual Halloween Party. I remember talking with your Mama and exchanging our stories. Since then, was a start of a new friendship. I discovered that your daddy works at the same company my husband works at. You have such wonderful parents and you could always see the joy and love they hold for you. I remember running into you all at Intel events and chatting with your mama.
    I feel like I have know you forever, by seeing photos of you growing up.
    Maddie, you mean the world to your mama. She was there for you always. I have never met anyone like her. She is the best mother, advocate, friend that fought for you always!!! Your Daddy and sister's were there for you too.

    I will always treasure my visit with you during your last stay
    at the hospital. Even though you didn't know I was there. You touched my heart in more ways than you could ever know. You are and Angel of God and you have the best parents in the world that fought for you everyday. You have touched so many lives.
    You are a fighter Maddie! God Bless you sweetie!!
    Hugs, Zulema Avis

  6. My dear sweet sleeping beauty Maddie,The excitement of your Mommy and Daddy and sweet big sis Marissa overflowed to your Georgia family the day we all new you were one the way to come into our lives! I have loved you before you ever even were born and was so so sad the day your parents told me that your family would be moving away and I would not get to actually be with your Mom for your Birth as I was for your sisters. But I do remember the phone call the night you were born and the excitement in your Moms voice as she phoned to tell me all about you! When it was discovered that you did have special needs , it only meant to us SPECIAL. I told your Mom that God gave you as a perfect gift and blessing and that both of your parents were indeed special that God chose them to be your parents. God has promised us that he would not give us anything that we could not handle and not once did that ever happen to your wonderful parents They are special in ways that I and others could not be and were chosenli by God to care for you because they loved and Cared for God so much. You have been a shining light in our world! Your sweet face would turn towards me and you would smile when I would just say your Name! You were such a cuddle bug when you were a baby and I did not ever want to put you down when you came to visit. I love that you love music so much because I do too and I know what therapy it gives me and I know you have that same feeling like me. Did you know you actually own a beat of my heart? It just has your imprint on it and will be with me until the day I will join you when you go home to be with God. I know when you do leave here you will never ever have to use a wheelchair, a feeding tube, or not be able to talk . You will be able to sing to make your own beautiful music, and everything else you were not able to do here. I am so blessed to have been a part of your life and I so appreciate your parents bringing you to my home to visit and always making me feel like your aunt Ra Ra. My darling, I know you are so tired,weak, and so ready for all of this to be over and I want you to know that I will take care of the friendship I have with your Mommy and Daddy and sisters as long as I live and that I will always always have good memories of you and will reflect on those with such joy and love in my heart. I love you sweet girl and I pray for you to have peace , and love given to you as you have already given it to us all. Love you forever Madeline Grace Moore.

  7. Dear Maddie,
    I only got to work with you for a couple of months but in those months you change my life forever. There was nothing more rewarding then getting to know you and finding out what makes you smile. I wish I could selfishly spend more time with you but I understand this is your time. I promise I will be there for you family when ever they need me and I will never forget you. I also promise I will go on and get my degree so I can work with more amazing children just like you!
    I love Maddie Moo!
    Holly

  9. Dear little Maddie moo,

    I am writing this love letter to you because I want you to know how much everyone cares about you and your family. I first met you when my little Benny Boo started to attend R&S. I feel so in love with you and the rest of the loving children there. You beautiful smile always cheers me up when I walk in, making me forget about my pain I was having that day. You are a ray of sunshine.

    While our time together has been short, the minutes I got to spend with you mean the world to me. I never take one student for granted. All the students make me want to be a better person.

    Know that you have so many people that love and care for you my darling little girl. My faith believes I will get to see you in a Resurrection to a perfect life with no sickness and death. This is what keeps me going. Knowing I get to see you and all my loved ones again in a perfect state as God intended this earth to be. It will be marvelous to see you running and laughing with your family.

    I love you dearly little Maddie Moo. I wish we have had more time to get to know each other. Hugs and kisses my dear sweet little girl

  10. My Dear Princess Maddie,

    I've loved being your teacher and I've loved watching you and Justin roll play on gymnastics mats, sometimes touching hands, always together in your wheelchairs or costumes at Halloween. You two did everything together last year. Some people feel sorry for little one's like you and Justin, but they don't realize the overwhelming joy you both have. A closeness to God that no one can know and understand. The wind on your face making you laugh so contagiously it makes us realize that you understand so much deeper than we do the meaning of life.

    I don't think our Earth could handle your personality and love and triumph if you were typical child. God knew what an impact you would make, He knew how deep it would be, how little time it would take. He knew sending you to us, would teach us everything we couldn't learn without you. He made you wonderfully and perfectly! You have taught us strength and joy, perseverance and love, you took so much less than most of us get and made it into so much more than we ever could. Your impact is profound and immeasurable.

    God has decided to bring you home. He wants to free your amazing and beautiful spirit, He wants you to sing like the angel you are, never feel another seizure and to be able to see the beautiful golden gates of Heaven. He lent you to us for a short time, you used that time to inspire countless people. Now it's your time Maddie, it is your time to be free of pain, free of immobility, free to sing and dance. What you have given us on earth is what will be given to you in Heaven...absolute joy and unconditional love.

    And as much as it hurts us that you need to leave us, as selfish as we want to keep you here with us forever, we know that you have done what you were brought here to do and now it is time for you to be cradled in the arms of Jesus.

    We know you will be watching us, we know that you will understand our tears and pain, but we also know that you want us to keep moving forward as God's servants and you want us to feel joy, even in the pain, just like you showed us it could be done.

    You are a strong, brave, sweet, gorgeous angel on earth. I'm so blessed to have known you and my children have been blessed to call you their friend. You have many angels who have gone before you and they will be there waiting for you and you have many of our little angels, like Justin, that will be coming after you. We love you Maddie, we love you so deeply it hurts, we can't see how we are going to survive this, but we will. We all will. You will never be forgotten or replaced, there is no one like you and there never will be again.

    Thank you for teaching us at Rise & Shine, when we were suppose to be teaching you...we love you so very much, you are just so beautiful ~ I can't wait to see you again my sweet, sweet Maddie. Rise & Shine is praying for your family to find a peace that surpasses all understanding, as they can't imagine their lives without you.

    Love you pieces,

    Ms. Desiree

  11. Dear Maddie, though we never got to meet in person your Mommy has shared so much about you with me that I feel as if we have spent time together playing. You've taken your family on a very special journey, one that led your Mommy to become a TVI. Because of you she will touch the lives of many special children who like you have unique abilities and challenges. I have you, your parents, and your two wonderful sisters in my thoughts. This is a hard time for all of you I am sure, but I know your family is surrounded by many who love all of you.
    Fondly,
    Dr. Penny @ UofA

  13. Sweet Precious Maddie,

    I know you are in Heaven with Jesus and the angels. Your time on this earth was short, but quite impactful! I only knew your mommy and daddy for a short time, but they were the sweetest people.

    God bless your family and may you all find comfort in this tragic time.

    Love, Megan King

  14. Dear Maddie,

    I am so sorry I never had the chance to meet you on this earth, and I hope someday I meet you up in heaven. I have been friends with your mommy since we were teenagers. I know how much she loves you and misses you, and I see how much you meant to your family and to everyone who ever knew you. You are such a special person, a gift from god, and many hearts break knowing you are gone from this world and onto the next.

    I hope you are smiling, dancing, laughing, singing in heaven right now, waiting until you meet each of us again in heaven.

    Love,

    Nancy, Mike and Theo Kritikos
