Dear Maddie I wish I could have stopped it from happening. You were such a
great friend even though it was just for a week. I still remember those days on
the bus, when u stick your head out of the window just to breath, I wish u were
here now breathing this fresh air. If I could I would take your place I would in a
heart beat. If I ever get to see u I know its going to be a smile on your face.
Because thats all you need to make someone's day go terrific, because you
are the shining star, someone would love to see every morning and night. FLY
HIGH MADDIE, AND KEEP SMILING!

Maddie, I'm still so heartbroken. These past days haven't been the same. I've
cried so bad everyday. I just can't believe it. You were a wonderful beautiful
first best friend for me when I came to Trenton. I can still remember all of our
conversations like we just had them. I can't wait to see your beautiful face
again but until then, rest easy beautiful. Watch over me with Jesus. I love you
Maddie, there will always be a special place in my heart for you.

Baby girl I miss you, more than words can describe, I heard what happened
and i didn't realize it was you till i found our old pictures when you were living
in the twin creek apartments next to me... We used to hang out everyday and
laugh and smile, and i just wish i could hand you a flower instead of putting on
your stone... I miss our foolishness in 8th grade, and being able to giggle and
feel free, When you me and Holden use to run and hide and we broke that
pickle jar!!! I miss those times.... I wish you were still here, and i cry every
night trying not to join you in the sky, I just want one more hour, to replace that
day you left, so i could say my goodbye's instead, but now i know where you'll
always be, and I'm gonna come visit you this weekend, and Maddie It hurts not
being able to hug you or hear you laugh but I'll always know you're watching
over us, and to know we'll be ok, I just wanna see you.....I wish i could've. I
love you Maddie. and I always will.

My sincerest condolences go out to each and every one of the Giillis family.
She was a beautiful young lady, who had a smile that could light up room. I
was fortunate enough to have her cross my path in her early childhood years.
She would attend the company Christmas Party with her grandparents. Prayers
of comfort and strength to each of you. Respectfully, Kathleen Gressett

Lord, I come before you today knowing that all power is in Your hand. I know
that you are the Lord and that you care for your people. Right now, my friend is
struggling with a difficult trial. I can see her strength is faltering, Lord, and
know that you have all of the strength that she needs. I pray that you will reach
down and touch her right now wherever she is at this moment. Let your
presence fill the room where she is and let her feel an extra portion of your
strength that can help her to get through this day. She needs you now, Lord,
and I thank you in advance for meeting her where she is and shoring up her
strength during this difficult time. In Jesus' name. Amen.
