Hello,My name is Mike Love and I am the manager of Sweets Diner in Port Charlotte Florida....this is the place I had the honor of meeting Madonna. I've been putting this off because I wanted to convey the message that is in my heart....I've decided based on what I know of this beautiful woman,just to lead from the heart.This will more or less come across as a letter(do people still write those?) to my wonderful friend Madonna...
Dear Madonna: it's a shame that our visits and talks have become less and less more recently...I miss your smiling face. I remember the first time I met you and you interrogated me under the dim lights of a diner open at five a.m.
I know now you did it out of the Love in you heart. Just as I was surprised by someone knocking on my window at such an early hour,you were surprised to see my groggy, unfamiliar face...you asked "Who are you?" "Where is Scott?" (The owner,and normal familiar face) "Is everything O.K.?
And then you proceeded to start bringing boxes upon boxes of bread and treats into the restaurant....you never asked for help,just gave me an explanation as to who you were...of course,back then,I immediately started helping you unload your vehicle....amazed,that such a person existed....you never asked for a thing....I was instructed to give you a cup of coffee...a bit of ice so it was drinkable,which you kindly accepted and parted faster than Moses parted the Red Sea....over the course of time,your familiar, smiling,kind face began to be something I looked forward too...In the beginning,Our conversation always was brief and cordial...but it was always warm and friendly...we discussed family, politics,our views on the current state of the world,and GOD...our beliefs. You were always in and out like lightning because you had other deliveries to perform....you were on a mission. One day you asked me of my own mother,my own family....tight lipped as I can be...I couldn't help but open up to your warm, caring heart...It seemed as if from that day forward,I too became another one of your missions. I remember how shocked I was the first time you took time out of your early-morning,self imposed delivery schedule....you began to make me feel incredibly special,and like I was finally doing some good with my life. You began to tell me "I Love You" each and every time we greeted one another,and parted. You constantly encouraged me....when I felt down,and was ready to throw in the towel... you offered me a potential solution. The last few months I've seen you less and less and I constantly wondered what was happening with you...when I did see you I was greeted by the same smile,and the same love that you'd always given...I was clueless to the things you were accepting about your own immortality. Lady,I have to let you know...the celebration of your life today was absolutely beautiful....I refuse to mourn for you...I cannot (don't think you'd like that anyway) I choose to celebrate you!!! Your beautiful family...the wonderful friends you have made...and the work that you chose to do...were all on display today!! Of course I'll always miss you(how could I not) The biggest take I receive today...and to me,what will be your lasting legacy....is the word Love!!!! The Bible says GOD is Love. To me lady,the one thing you leave with me is Love!!! I'm truly honored,and privileged to have been a small fraction of your life....I am truly honored to have been allowed the privilege of celebrating you,and being a part of your LOVE today!!!! I'll never ever forget you.Untill we meet again my sweet Queen!!!
"From Crackhead to C.E.O." ;)
Love,
Mike
P.s.
I hope they serve French toast and sausage patties in Heaven <3

So many memories, many of Madonna making everyone welcome.....anytime, anywhere. Her home was always one where we gathered for a noisy, happy, whirlwind of kids and food and reconnecting from far away. Thinking of all of you today as you gather together knowing the memories will live on forever through you.

What a beautiful tribute that obituary was to read! I feel I know Madonna a little better now than I did before reading it. While I wish I had known more about her while she was physically with us, I am very thankful for the opportunity to learn more now.
My name is Kat, I am a server at Sweets Diner (one of the places Madonna religiously delivered bread to and was a beloved friend of). I met Madonna about a year and a half ago as she delivered bread on a Saturday morning. We had definitely never met, but when she beamed her impossibly-bright-for-5am grin at me, I felt like the term 'stranger' did not apply to her. It was the kind of smile that penetrated as if she already knew me. I figured she must just be in an uncommonly good mood - but whether or not she was, that exact smile was present every time I saw her. Right up until the last time I saw her at the diner just over a month ago.
We fell into conversation like old friends, and our personalities were quite similar on many levels. She had an old fashioned naiveté that I Stongly related to (it now surprises me that she could maintain that innocence after being a cop!). A few of the 5am customers at Sweets are rather gruff fellows who enjoyed playfully getting a rise out of us, and it was so nice to have a partner in crime to team up with on days she was there. That comraderie further cemented our bond.
Madonna left footprints on our hearts that time can never erase. She was an absolute light and blessing to everyone she touched, in a world that grows more devoid of light each day. That light is now emblazoned in my soul and I know I will be able to call on it for strength and solace for the rest of my life. I wish I had known her longer, but I wouldn't change or trade the time I did know her for anything. It is bittersweet- bitter in no longer knowing she'll be along to brighten the morning, sweet in knowing she no longer suffers and is very much alive in all of us. She was So loved, and is still. If heaven has a VIP section, she most certainly resides there now. I believe we will all see her again when our own earthly jouneys end.
Thank you, Madonna for being the gift you were and are to me. Your legacy lives and breathes in your Amazing children, grandchildren and family. I know you are proud of how strongly your light radiates from them!
Heaven has gained itself one Mighty Angel, Indeed!

Madonna and I were friends all through school high school and then we went our own way and then 10 years ago. I moved to Florida and we reconnected and we had just as much fun as we did back in high school. I will miss her so much rest in peace, my dear friend.
