Dear Carol and Dan,
It's hard to believe it's been almost a year since Molly flew away to be with her Dad. I know you are acutely aware that she will always be with you as evidenced by your memories. Although your pain will never end, it will become more comfortable to live with as time goes on. We love you both and continue to keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Molly,
Although we've never met, I feel I know you. From the day your mom and I first bicycled together, she has talked, with such great love, about you and Dan and your activities. This doesn't usually happen with the women (moms, too) I cycle with, so it made a big impact.
You have such a wonderful family and so many friends who will always love you.It's been a pleasure to get to know you through them. Peace and Joy, Beth A.

Dear Carol,
I'm so sorry for your loss of beautiful, sweet, Molly. She was such a ray of light. I loved how she would blush and was always humble. She had a grace about her that always made you feel good after you were in her company. She gave so much joy to many, many lives. May God comfort you in this terrible loss.

One of the greatest comforts of going home is knowing you will always find a familiar face around the neighborhood. Molly was a familiar face that I remember seeing at the park, at track and soccer practice, and hanging out with my sister and Roshene. The loss of a friend and a neighbor will forever change our town and our neighborhood. I am so sorry that her youth was stolen from her so abruptly. May she rest in peace and know that her memory will not be forgotten by her friends and neighbors.

Dear Carol,
One memory I have of Molly is when she was playing soccer. Joe brought her over to play in Petaluma and Clare & I went to see her play. Man, she was something! I can still see her barreling down the field, so strong and fast that I was glad I wasn't out there. She would've mowed me down!
I always loved to get her to laugh. She'd have on her serious,quiet face which was always an invitation to me to get her to crack up - which she always would...either I was as funny as I thought I was or she was just being polite to her Uncle. I prefer to think it's the former.
I can still see her laughing
Love, Peter

There is a quote that says, "Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy". The other night Rashell and I were outside and we saw a shooting star; I believe Molly was waving at us to say, "hi", and to show us that she will never truly be lost. Even though I will never be able to hear her laugh or see her beautiful blue eyes again it brings me comfort that from time to time I can say hello. I will forever gaze the night sky looking for the wave from my old friend.
They say, "no man is the whole himself. His friends are the rest of him." I must agree because I feel like part of me has died along with Molly; like there is this empty hole were I have kept her my hole life. My goal over time though is to refill the hole with all the memories I have of her, and to rekindle her soul and spirit in my heart. My heart being the place were she will forever be held and treasured, because when a friend becomes a memory the memory become a treasure. I love you, and will never forget you Molly.
Your loving friend,
Katelynn Jean

Dear Carol and Dan,
I can't tell you how sad I am to learn about Molly's passing.
In my mind, she is forever the adorable and fearless little girl who had no trouble keeping up with Dan & the other cub scouts on outtings & camp outs. Her sweet smile & self assurance made a lasting impression on me, and so many others.
So very sorry for your tremendous loss. You are both in my thoughts.

Dear Carol & Dan,
Molly brought such joy to my life. Her rosy lips, adorable smile, big blue eyes and beautiful blond hair. She was precious, sweet, and kind to all of her friends. She was so observant, curious and never afraid to dive in and explore the world around her. We played, created, imagined, danced, sang and cuddled while reading a silly story. My time with Molly will always remain close to my heart. She truly enriched my life, and I will forever be grateful for the time I spent with her. My girls had the privilege of growing up as her neighbor, school mate and friend. We loved our Molly-Ba-Golly and want you to know how much she meant to us. Please know that we are here for you; our thoughts and love are with you always.

We have been reflecting for days on what to say. We think of Molly every day and mourn over the loss of her. She was such a caring and sweet person. One memory brings us to Sarah's 3rd birthday party at Aunt Jane's and Uncle Ed's house. Molly was celebrating with us and she had gone out and bought Sarah a present. We were so touched by Molly's thoughtfulness for her little cousin. Sarah still loves those beach toys. We pray for you, Carol and Dan, that God will keep you through this tragedy.

Although she has gone to be with her Dad, she will remain here with us, in our hearts, because the connected spirit cannot be broken.
What a beautiful young woman Molly turned out to be. She found great joy in life and I dare say she's found much greater things on the other side than we could ever imagine.
Hearts are broken and grief is paramount for those left behind, but we know you are completed in His care.

I did not know Molly, but I know the pain of losing a child. It breaks my heart every time I hear that another parent has to continue living without their child, and a sibling goes on without their lifelong friend. I'm very sorry for your loss. I hope the world is kind to you, and that you are able to find comfort in the hard times to come.
