Maddison is now our angel. 
Caring Bridge Journal entry ~ Lindsay Mertz  5/30/2017

Our precious girl took her last breath last night. She passed away in our arms surround by family and many friends. Over the past 8 years and particularly the last 6 months she showed us how to be brave while fighting with a smile. She showed us how to live and love life. She has brought us more joy in life. We are truly better people because of her. Thank you Maddison for letting us be your parents. We are beyond blessed.  

The pain we now feel is like nothing we have every felt before. But we know she is no longer in pain. We know that she is running free in heaven and will be watching over us. We love her to the moon and back. She will always be with us. At every birthday and every holiday. We know each day will be painful but we want to live our lives fullest. That is how Maddison lived each and everyday.
