Laurie Ann Madsen

I met the Madsen 7 years ago the first few years was really hard for me because of a lot of misconceptions about me. So I was pushed away for awhile. But through out the years I got close to them and loved them as my own family. About a months ago Laurie and I had a really nice conversation about when I first started dating Tyler, and how she felt about me, it was really hard to hear someone say things to you about how she felt when she first met me. All because of lies that where told about Tyler and I. She told me that she never felt that way about anyone and how hard it was on her cause she lived to be like our Heavenly Father. Tears were flowing between me and her. I am glad that we were able to talk about it so there was no doubt in my mind the love that she had for me. The best part of the conversation was when we were able to get it all out in the open and she apologized for ever hurting my feelings and was hoping that I would be able to forgive her. Of course I do. It opened a door way for us to become closer. She said that I was like one of her daughters. Which I am so blessed to be apart of there lives. The hardest thing now is that we finally were becoming close and that I new I could come to her for anything.
3 years ago Makenzie got hospitalized and Laurie was at her bed side with me everyday. watching her and reading to her. The day we got told that Makenzie needed a Heart Transplant was the day I got the call from Laurie saying that she has lung cancer. My heart dropped even lower hearing double bad news. She told me that everything was going to be ok and to take care of Makenzie. Ever since then those to girls did everything medically together. Laurie got sick Makenzie did also. Laurie got Hospitalized, Makenzie got rejection. So I hope it ends there.
Last week was a really tough week for us all It was really hard watching someone you love pass away right before your eyes taking there last breath. But through out the week most of us were at peace with her passing. Laurie fought a hard and long battle of cancer laying in her bed for about 2 years trying everything to take of herself. But always held her head up high and put her faith in the Lord. She was defiantly a angel here I am so blessed to have been apart of her life. She will be missed. I am so thankful for Eternal families and I know that Tyler and I will strive to live up to her expectations so we can see her again.
