Molly was a dear, dear friend and a beautiful soul who lived a very difficult life full of emotional and physical pain. Through it all she exuded a warmth and acceptance to all who met her. Her all-encompassing love for the most downtrodden and weakest in society makes this loss all the more tragic. Molly did not let years of pain and abuse affect her sense of humor and ability to love others, on the contrary: it gave her a special ability to accept others, faults and all.

Words, however kind, can't mend your heartache; but those who care and share your loss wish you comfort and peace of mind. May you find strength in the love of family; the warm embrace of friends; and the loving promises of Almighty God that there is a hope of seeing your loved one again.
