The last time I spoke with Madeleine, (who was a Baldwin County teacher & coach) she told me she wanted her son to always know that she fought as hard as she could to stay with him… and he will. I will have more on Madeleine’s life and journey, but for now, please keep her dad, WKRG News 5’s Leon Petite, her mom, Jennifer, her siblings, and her entire family in your prayers." related to its administration this Wednesday).
