MadFloridian
Good evening. I am Mad's daughter and it is with a heavy heart that I inform you that she has passed away. I know there are many of you who will grieve her passing. Others maybe not so much. Regardless, her time on this forum was very important to her and filled a lot of her life. Regardless of your opinion of Mad please know that her efforts and her heart were always for the good in this United States of America.
Thank you!

I am so very sorry for your loss. May your memories bring you comfort.
RIP, MadFloridian. I am unaware of anything objectionable that she wrote or shared and I appreciated her thoughts on education. As a retired teacher, she walked the walk and really cared about kids. She will be missed here.
As a fellow Floridian, longtime DUer, and someone who is fond of Bernie as she was, I am so sorry for your loss. Hers was a valued voice in the DU community and will be missed by many, I am sure.
And a light in the darkness. I’m so sorry to hear of her passing.
…member of this community, and was here almost from DU’s founding.
As a fellow DU old timer, I have seen many of her posts, and I enjoyed her. Yes, she’ll be missed.
Much love to you, daughter-of-MadFloridian.
Thank you for letting us know. We loved your mom, and everything she brought to the table here, with her great posts. We'll miss her desperately!
You do not mourn alone. There are legions of us here at DU who are right there closely beside you, at least in spirit.
Loss to us as well.
She was an amazing member of this community and will be missed.
and commitment to teaching and education, values that are facing challenges in this these times.
Condolences to you, and many thanks for letting us know. Pass peacefully, dear MadFloridian. You made this community and world a better place.
I am so sorry for your loss and for ours!
Mad was a voice of reason who I followed from my first night on DU!
She will be greatly missed but her wisdom will stay with us.
Heartfelt condolences from tosh.
Thank you for letting us know rather than somewhere down the line someone posting, "I wonder where madfloridian is?".
The loss of a parent is difficult, as I well know. I hope her passing was easy, and that you are at peace.
I recall her well, and I'm very glad she was here.
I want to say, I love you. And I loved your mother.
I loved her thoughtful, insightful posts. She was a dedicated advocate for education.
RIP, sister.
Deep peace of the running wave to you
Deep peace of the flowing air to you
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you
Deep peace of the shining stars to you
Deep peace of the gentle night to you
for you and the rest of her family and friends. Very sad to hear this. I hope her passing was easy.
I am so sorry for your loss. Always read her posts. She was a wonderful DUer and human being as well. I was shocked by your news - thought I was going to hear about her life and the world as it is.
I've seen your mom's posts for nearly 20 years. She will be missed here also.
I can't say I remember interacting with your mom much on this board, but I remember seeing her name in various threads for most of my time here. I'll miss seeing MadFloridian's name - because just the name made me smile and have hope for Floridians.
She was a pioneer DUer, joining in 2002.
She will be missed by many DUer's, as I know she will be by her family and friends.
I really enjoyed her participation on DU, and felt that DU lost a bit of, well, DU when she stopped posting here. She truly was a good person.
Rest in Power, madfloridian.
(I, too, thought this was going to be a post about madfloridian coming back to DU. 
)
sending you heartfelt condolences.
and thank you for letting us know.
I don't know when I last saw her on DU, but it's been a long while. I am so sorry to hear this news.
My condolences to you & your family.
I will miss her deeply incisive posts against the right wing machine
Rest in peace to a true DU legend. She will be greatly missed.
Through the years, we have seen so many long-time DUers pass away. Each one feels like another warrior from our fox hole has been lost.
You had a really good mom.
I loved her name and always thought that is what need more of -- more Mad Floridians!
I learned her important views on education and so much more.
Thank you for giving us the chance to share our love for her.
Sympathy to all those who knew and loved her, she'll be missed here in DU.
