Mady was a beautiful and intelligent child who brought the best out of everyone she met. Mady loved her Momma and Daddy and they loved her more than anything in the world. Mady was her Momma's little Pooh Bear and was her Daddy's PRINCESS!!!! Mady loved to cook with her Momma and snuggle while they watched cartoons and movies together. She loved to visit and play with her cousins Lole and Zor-el "ZZ", and loved it when Daddy took them all to the park to play and then out to eat at Culvers. Mady was also adored by her two brothers Christopher and Camden. Mady especially liked it when Daddy would take them all shopping at the mall and to the Build a Bear store so she could build a teddy bear.
Mady was the most cherished and loved grandchild that Annette "Granma" and Konrad "Granpa" had. She was a perfect little baby that grew into a beautiful and smart little girl. She loved to jump on the trampoline at "Granma" and "Granpa's" house and go for bike rides to the park. Mady was always excited to see other kids at the park so she could play with them. Mady loved to sit on "Granma's" lap at night and read books after she had her bath and was ready for bed. Every Christmas Mady would help her "Granma" decorate Christmas cookies. Mady loved to play dress-up with the costumes and dresses she had in her toy box at home and at 'Granma' and 'Granpas'' house. Mady was a sweet little girl that stole the heart of everyone that knew her. However if you called her a little girl she was quick to correct you and tell you that she was a big girl. Mady loved to be with other children and she was overjoyed when she started 3K at Brookfield Christian School. Mady loved to tell us what she did in school including singing the songs that she learned.
