    I started crying when I read this. I feel like flying out to show you my support and love. Seriously. Just say the word if you need people around you. (I generally need the opposite)… so please remember there are no rules to any of this and do FIRST what you need to do to take this all in. (In other words, don’t listen to anyone’s advice… Fuck ’em!)

    SENT WITH AS MUCH LOVE AS I CAN POSSIBLY EXTEND TO YOU…

    Madge…
    I offer you my deepest condolences and symptahies to you and Gussie’s family.

    When I read the statement… It took my breath away. I am so very sorry, Madge! So sorry!

    I feel awful that this is my first feedback ever, having listened to your show every day since last spring. I really wish I could help you somehow, but since I live in Warsaw, Poland, I can do virtually fuck all for you.
    I’m sorry.

    Madge, you have captured listeners all over the globe. You are an amazing human lesbian and I hope you understand that there are thousands of us out there who loves you and honestly wants to support you in any way possible, even if you hate the cliché!
    So, fuck us all, but, it the truth!

    To Gussie. To You. Our love. Always.

    I was shocked and saddened to read of Gussie’s death. I am thinking of you. I offer condolences to you, her mother (my god she must be devastated; to outlive one’s child is a parent’s worst nightmare) and her other friends and relatives.

    Can’t find my own words so I took Kate’s.

    I feel very sorry for you. Just be assured we all share your grief. Keep up the good work as it is good and important work. I know this hurts and stinks and nothing will be the same again. But everything will be alright as well soon.

    All the best from Germany.

    We are very sorry for your loss. Its very hard to lose someone you love. Juan was a very special person and the two of you shared a life. You had a very special and unique relationship. We hope you cherish it always. Our thoughts are with you. We know that Juan will live on in your heart, and ours, and in the only good clothes you wear. He had such great fashion sense.

    I read about the funeral through Ragan’s podcasts and at first I didn’t believe it. I’m so sorry you’ve had to go something as painful as this. Know that I’ll be thinking of you. I know you can make it through this.

    Fuck.

    I know you don’t know me from the next person, but I’ve come to feel like I know you after listening for so long. Both you and Juan have touched my life — as silly and/or imprudent as that may sound — and I am sincerly sorry and saddened about your loss.

    Despite your comments about similar offers in a recent show, I have to put this out there: Please let me know if you need help with anything. I live a bit north Chicago and would like to help you with anything you might need once you get back home.

    Much love to you.

    Madge, my love, I don’t what to say to make it better. With as many words as we possess in this day in age, we should be able to heal things with them. I can’t express how much i love you. You’re story with Juan inspired so many people. You touched so many hearts, minds, souls, and extended your love to so many wonderful people. I have made a donation to Democracy Now, and to Ragan and Rachel in the your and Juan’s name.

    Love, Light,

    Grieve, Mourn, and feel. But most importantly, celebrate the bautiful life that Juan had.

    i love you,
