We enjoyed having lunch frequently with Molly and Chuck. The star of the event was Molly dealing with the cheese on her French onion soup.

We're so very sorry to learn of Molly's death and so very upset that we didn't know until March 19. Otherwise we would have attended her funeral.
We'll always remember her. She was a great lady. We'll especially remember her working with Jacque on the Manor bazaars and her invaluable help with three of our daughter's weddings. Bud will remember the humor of her eating French onion soup.
In our thoughts

Molly was a driving force behind many wonderful things at St. John's Olney. The Advent Dinner, that was her idea, just celebrated its 41st year. Sadly Molly is no longer with us on our earthly journey, but her legacy lives on.

Mary Beth's "Gram" was a delightful person! Her granddaughter dearly loved her and I was fortunate to have met her. I'm so sorry the Francis family has lost such a wonderful person.
