Baby Madison was laid to rest yesterday morning in Plain City, Ohio. The funeral for the newborn found in a garbage dump truck was one of the saddest I've attended in my seventy-seven years.. Over two hundred citizens of Plain City and surrounding areas offered their prayers for the little girl who didn't stand a chance in life. The main speaker, of which there were three, gave one of the most enduring, heartfelt messages; one I'll remember for the rest of my life. The man is the county coroner and medical examiner from Madison County who performed the autopsy. Tears streamed as he gave us a message of distress and hope. The gentleman has performed over 500 autopsies on young people in his career. This little girl caused him to break down as he spoke in anguish.
To honor the child fourteen first responders surrounded her casket for the entire 90 minute service. This act did not go unnoticed by all in attendance. Never again would these men and women allow harm to come to God's most innocent lamb.
