Mary Ellen and Tim,
I am so sorry to hear news of Molly. I have such wonderful and vivid memories of Molly in her Music Together classes when I taught her at Healthworks in Back Bay. I remember her twirling and dancing, always with a big beautiful smile on her face and twinkling eyes. She seemed so free in her body. She really stood out for me out of the hundreds of students I've taught over the last years. I will miss her deeply. I send you my condolences. If there is anything I can ever do to help honor Molly's memory, please let me know. With love, Vanessa Trien

Dear MaryEllen and Tim,
We were so sorry to hear about Molly. We will keep you and your family in our prayers.
I don't know if the following poem will provide any comfort but I found it comforting when it was given to me when my mother died.
Don't stand by my grave and weep
for I'm not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamonds glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet
birds in circle flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
I hope your wonderful memories of Molly will provide comfort as you attempt to deal with your devastating loss.
With sympathy,
Eileen and Les Shea

Tim & MaryEllen,
You and your little Molly have been in my daily prayers for the past year. Steve McKenna has been our family orthodontist for many years and had shared Molly's story with me. A struggle I am all too familiar with. My brother also had a Glioblastoma and passed away 2 months ago after a 2-1/2 yr battle. Our family will continue to pray for you and support the research to find a cure. May God Bless you and Comfort you through your Faith, knowing Molly is safe in our Lord's arms.

I am so sorry for your loss. She was a beautiful little princess. I was honored to care for her in her final days. Your family has touched my heart in so many ways. I know you both must feel comfort with the amazing support and love that you have surrounding you. It makes me smile to think that she is now at the "big party in the sky". Please take care of yourselves, you are in my thoughts.

There sre so many thoughts and words that come to mind. But the one that doesn't escape me is inspiration. Molly was truely an inspiration to all she touched. How could you not be inspired by the little girl who faced life with open arms and a smile.
May you get to run through the meadows with all the bunnies and blow bubbles with all the funny faced goldfish. We loved you then and we love you now. We will all treasure the memories and joys you brought us and will continue to bring us.
Love you always,
