We enjoyed years of fellowship with you at the church and treasure those memories. I pray that your years with her bring you many, many wonderful memories as you feel her loss. God Bless.
What a beautiful example of positivity. Molly always had a way of changing the conversation from negative to positive. Her smile is a true example of how much she enjoyed talking to her peers. “Death ends a life; Not a relationship.” Dr. Seuss.

She always had interesting insights to the books we were reading. She often used her years teaching to provide examples of experiences she had. Molly will be deeply missed. Prayers for comfort for your family. RIP Molly.
