Evelyn and Family;
Brian and I would like to send our prayers, condolences, and love at this time of your loss.
Brian had a great opportunity to know Art through Precision Drilling and build a relationship with him for which he is very thankful.
There is a great void when you lose such a great man of character, integrity, and passion for God's word and a smile you can see a block away. Lucky are those who have been mentored and loved by him.
Many blessings and love to you and your family at this time.

Hi Eve,
Gloria and I were saddened at the news of Art's passing. His smile was contagious. Even though we had moved from Chestermere..when we did return we would always see him on the golf course. I'm sure he is playing in Heaven now and probably winning as usual. God Speed Art Molina.

Although I only see Art in the golf course specially in the PCCF sponsored tournaments, I knew from the first time we were introduce to each other that I met a person dedicated to a cause of exposing the beautiful culture of the Filipinos. Rest in peace my freind, and to the Molina family, please accept our sincere sympathy.

Tito Art was a thoughtful, caring and hard working man. The Calgary Filipino community lost a leader this week. Condolences on your loss.

My condolences go out to the Molina family on your loss as Art begins the next stage of his journey back to God.
Thinking back to my time with the Philippine Cultural Centre Foundation, I can say that to work with Art as part of a committee that worked to bring a Philippine Cultural Centre to reality was time well spent. I appreciate the fact that Art treated all committee members as equals ready to work at the table, no matter one's age or background.
He will be missed by many indeed.

Dear Manang Evelyn and family,
THE PATHWAY THAT HAS NO END
We follow a pathway that has no end
as we travel through life day by day
Together with those who are dear to our hearts
and are there by our side, come what may.
But sometimes a loved one must travel ahead
for reasons that aren't always clear.
And we're left behind to continue along
missing one who is no longer there.
And while it may seem that the pathway has stopped,
it merely has rounded a bend,
And our loved one goes on to a much brighter place
down the pathway that has no end!!!!!
Our prayers and thoughts are with you!
Love from the Josue's
Florence & Oyie
