Dorothy was such a sweet Christian lady. She is in Heaven now praising Jesus and visiting with Bud and all those who have gone before her. Thoughts and prayers go out to the Madler family.
Dale & Cindy Berg says
My heartfelt sympathies to all of Dorothy’s family. She was such a nice person, and I was fortunate to have her make many cakes for my boys when they were smaller.
God bless you all at this difficult time.
Pastor Bruce K. Oyen and Loann says
Dear family of Dorothy,
Loann and I are sad to hear of Dorothy’s passing. As you know, we got to know Bud and Dorothy pretty well when I was the pastor of Fellowship Baptist Church, which they attended regularly. They were always very warm and cheerful , even when their health was poor. We spent many hours in their home, and they in ours. We shared many laughs, tears, and prayers together when they suffered from health problems. One humorous memory I have is of being at their house when Dorothy was shaving Bud with an electric razor. I told her to not push hard on it, but to glide it gently over his face. She said that was good to know, and she said it might have been the reason he would seem to be in pain when she shaved him. We will remember them as dedicated Christians, and very thoughful of others. We are sorry we are not able to be at Dorothy’s funeral. May God bless all of you.
Fran Mengel and family says
Our loving thoughts and prayers are with Dorothy’s family today. Shedding tears over the “loss of Mom” is natural – so have a good cry! Because of her testimony, we know she is happy – in Heaven today – with her loving Saviour, Jesus Christ. That is reason for you to smile! God bless each one of you.
Fran Mengel, Irene, Ray and JoAn

Dear family of Dorothy Arlene Madler – I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. May God give you peace and comfort through his sure promises to end pain, mourning and death (Revelation 21:4). At that time no one will say “I am sick” (Isaiah 33:24). Cherish all of your happy memories and I hope you are comforted by Bible promises (John 17:3).
