MADELINE TEKLA GUGALA, passed away suddenly at home on May 15,2013 at the age of 15 years.

She is survived by her mother Daphne Gugala; her aunts and uncles - Terri and Phil Uren, Judi and Murray Paddon, Nancy and Tony Bowman, Barb and Steve Lea; her grandparents - Liz and Frank Uren, Irene Gugala and Louise and Bryce Jensen. Maddie is also survived by her cousins whom she loved very much - Hillari (Joel), Ethan, Kye, No?l, Petra, Geneva, Gwyneth, Gideon, Angela (Jeff), and James.

Madeline was predeceased by her father; Tom Gugala, grandfather Rudy Gugala, and grandmother Gwen Uren.

Madeline had a very gentle spirit and was concerned with the happiness of others even more so than herself and was fiercely loyal to her friends. She was a wonderful artist and loved to spend time drawing and painting. She loved swimming, yoga, dancing, and anime.

Madeline loved her pets and was always concerned about their well being. For those wanting to make a donation please consider an animal rescue group.

Perhaps in that next place we will understand more and be able to love in whatever final ways there are. Maybe then we shall understand why we cannot be together now.

In Madeline's memory, please gather your children close and tell them that you love them.

Rest in peace, my beautiful girl.
