We are gathered here today to say goodbye to Madison McDow, who left this world far too soon on December 20, 2024.

Madison was born on April 4, 2009 in West Virginia Junction, West Virginia to her loving parents Shannon and Robin McDow. She was the apple of their eye, despite being a bit of a troublemaker from time to time.

Madison attended Virginia High School, where she excelled in her studies (most of the time) and participated in her beloved hobbies of cheerleading and dance. Her spirit and energy were infectious, and she could always be counted on to rally the team when they needed it most.

Unfortunately, Madison's energetic spirit sometimes had a dark side, and she struggled with mental health issues. In the end, she faced a battle that she felt she couldn't win, and she made the decision to end her own life.

While our hearts are heavy with grief, we can still remember Madison for the light she brought into our lives. She was a firecracker, a force to be reckoned with, and a friend who could always make you smile when you needed it most.

Rest in peace, Madison. We will never forget the joy and laughter you brought into our lives.
