Moli was an angel sent to walk with us for the time God allowed us to be blessed by her. You couldn't be with her and not know how much she loved God and her family. She truly impacted me and my family from the time we met..not only from sharing scriptures via emails, almost daily hugs and I love yous to the influences of my daughter Brittany following Moli's path to be a nurse. We always laughed that Britt would go see Moli before she ever came to see me at work. I wouldn't ever change it. I cant wait til that day we all will be able to workship our Lord with Moli. I know she is doing so now. Praying for all..
