Born June 16, 1959, Maddie has gone to her eternal rest on the 31st of August, 2020. Her long battle with cancer has ended. No more pain, no more suffering. She will be welcomed into the house of our Lord, escorted by our youngest son Ricky who preceded her in death on Nov. 5, 2010. This she proclaimed prior to her passing. That is Maddie; she planned and executed every aspect of her life. 09/27/2020 12:00 AM

Campers, hikers, and birders alike regarded it like a secret treasure, this sleepy haven resting at the crest of the Hill Country between the big cities of San Antonio, Austin and Houston. 09/27/2020 12:00 AM
