Since this past summer, I have been following the story of 7 year old Maddie Trudel and her father Paul. Maddie has been battling cancer and fighting it with the spunk that only a very special girl could have.
Several weeks ago I preached a sermon at both of my internship congregations about Maddie and her dad. It is posted below. This evening as I checked the Detroit Free Press website, I read that Maddie died.

I do not know Maddie, Paul or any of her family...but her story touched my heart. My thoughts and prayers go out to Paul and Maddie's entire family. I have been blessed by Maddie's presence in my life and know she was a light to all of you. May you be blessed with the prayers, thoughts and support of your family and friends and all of the people in the world who were able to share a little bit of your life. Maddie was a very special little girl.
