It was a pure joy to know Mollie; an honor, an inspiration! She will be most remembered for her expressions of love for everyone, the tight hugs she gave (where DID she get the strength!?), and for her precious voice saying "You're sooo sweet". (I can still hear her.) She will be remembered for her intense love of animals - especially her cats, which she often considered more important than herself ... as well as her love for flowers and plants ... her love for food and her love for dancing - even if she could only move her feet! But most of all, Mollie loved people and everyone loved her in return. I was also impressed at the sharpness of Mollie's mind - even at 89 years old - her positive sense of independence and life in general. Nevermind that she had progressive physical hindrances. She would still find joy among it all! She was child-like and fun-loving - no matter what life dealt her. "Resilient" was Mollie's middle name. We'll always fondly remember Mollie when we see her earthly home across the street. ... and we know that she is bringing the same smiles to the face of Jesus in her new home in Heaven. Until we see you again, Miss Mollie ......
