To Cadie and her family,
Though I was only apart of your life for a short while as a neighbor, your friendship had a lasting impact on my life. On November 6th 2004, Brunon and I were playing outside with my father while Sue and John were setting up for Acadia's eighth birthday party. When it was time to clean up, my father lead Brunon and I back into the house. Just as I thought I was going to celebrate my best friend's birthday, my life turned upside down . My father suddenly collapsed and died of a heart attack in front of Brunon and I. Being only seven years old, I ran with Brunon to nearest haven I could find, The Stzuba family. The minute it took for me to run up the hill and into their driveway seemed like an eternity. I rang the door bell, John (maybe Sue) answered the door. With tears running down my face I said; "my daddy fell". I had no other way to describe it. From there I was comforted by Cadie and our other friend, Gwen. The trauma left me with no other memories. Brunon, I hope that you are okay, as you also experience this trauma too.
Fast forward 16 years later, the images of that day still play over and over in my head. Lately, I had been thinking about Acadia and Brunon, only to come across horrible news.
When I heard about Cadie's passing, it brought back so many memories along with emotions. I am truly sorry from the bottom of my heart about your loss. Your family was a significant part of my life, and I wish I could have been around for you more. I will always remember Cadie as best friend, and even as a sister. If there is anything that I can do for you guys please don't hesitate to reach out to with me, or my mom. You know exactly where to find us.
Please contact me through my email, and I can give you my phone number.
With sympathy,
Madeline (Maddie)
