AS WE ALL KNOW MB LIKED TO TALK ALOT,I FOUND HER TO BE A GREAT LISTENER ALSO,PROBLEM IS WHEN YOU WERE TELLING HER SOMETHING SHE WOULD LOOK AT YOU WITH THOSE BABY BLUES AND YOU WOULD FORGET WHAT YOU WERE SAYING. SHE WAS A GREAT FRIEND AND HER COURAGE WAS HER FINAL GIFT TO ALL OF US.DANNY

A WORLD WITHOUT TEARS



JUST THINK OF A WORLD WITHOUT TEARS (ISA. 33:24)

WHERE A MAN CAN LIVE FOR A MILLION YEARS.

WITH NEVER A GRIEF, AN ACHE, OR A PAIN (REV. 21: 3&4)

AND NEVER A THOUGHT OF DYING AGAIN.



THINK OF A WORLD, WHEN A MAN PLANTS A VINE,

HE CAN SIT IN IT'S SHADE, AND SAY,"THIS IS MINE"

HE WILL LIVE IN A HOUSE HIS OWN HAND HAS MADE, (ISA. 65:21, 22)

AND NAUGHT SHALL MOLEST, OR MAKE HIM AFRAID.



THINK OF A WORLD WITHOUT BLOODSHED AND STRIFE,

WHERE NO MAN DARE TAKE ANOTHER MAN'S LIFE. (ISA. 9:7)

WHERE MAN UNTO MAN WILL UNITE IN PEACE.(LUKE 2:14)

AND MALICE AND HATRED FOREVER MORE CEASE.



THINK OF THE EARTH AS A GLOBAL PARADISE, (ISA.35:1,2)

WHERE MOUNTAIN AND DESERT WILL DAZZLE YOUR EYES,

WITH BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS AND SHRUBBERY AND TREES

WITH GAY BUTTERFLIES, AND SONGBIRDS AND BEES.

THINK! JUST AS SURE AS GOD'S WORD IS THE TRUTH (JOHN 17:17)

A MAN SHALL RETURN TO THE DAYS OF HIS YOUTH. (JOB 33:25)

HIS FLESH SHALL BECOME AS THE FLESH OF A CHILD.

AND THE WORDS THAT HE SPEAKS WILL BE CHEERFUL AND MILD.



THINK OF A WORLD WHERE A LAME MAN WILL LEAP; (ISA 35:5,6)

FROM CRAG TO CRAG LIKE A DEER OR A SHEEP.

WHERE NONE WILL BE DEAF OR NONE SHALL BE BLIND.

AND THE SPEECH IMPAIRED SHALL SING AND SPEAK FORTH HIS MIND.



THINK OF A WORLD WHERE EACH MAN IS HIS BROTHER

NOT ESTEEMING HIMSELF ABOVE THAT OF ANOTHER.

WHERE MAN UNTO MAN WILL BE FRIEND TO FRIEND, (JOHN 15:14, 15)

IN A WORLD WITHOUT TEARS, THAT WILL NEVER END.



THINK OF A WORLD WHERE THE DEAD WILL HAVE RISEN, (JOHN 5:28)

FROM THEIR SILENT TOMBS THAT HELD THEM IN PRISON.

TO FOREVER LIVE TO LOVE AND CARESS,

THEIR LOVED ONES AND FRIENDS IN RIGHTEOUSNESS. (LUKE 7:11-16)



NOW A "WORLD WITHOUT TEARS", IS NOT JUST A DREAM,

AS MANY A PERSON MIGHT MAKE IT SEEM.

FOR JUST AS SURE AS THE BIBLE IS TRUE,

A WORLD WITHOUT TEARS NOW LIES BEFORE YOU.



AND SINCE SUCH A WORLD BEFORE YOU NOW LIES,

WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO LIVE IN SUCH A PARADISE?

AND SHARE ALL THE BLESSINGS THAT JEHOVAH HAS IN STORE,

FOR ALL WHO WOULD DO HIS WILL EVERMORE. (JOHN 17:3)



GOOD NEWS OF THE KINGDOM IS STILL BEING SUNG, (MAT. 24:14)

THROUGHOUT EVERY NATION, KINGDOM AND TONGUE.

AND ALL WHO ARE THIRSTING FOR TRUTH ARE INVITED.

IN PRAISING OUR GOD JEHOVAH, AND BE UNITED.

Mary Beth Molitor was a wonderful person. I know she will be missed tremendously! She lived a wonderful life and touched everyone she came in contact with. My deepest sympathy to her family and friends.

My fondest memory of Mary Beth Molitor is the pride she displayed in the achievements of her daughter Mo during her time at St. Ambrose University where I serve as chaplain. Along with the gift of a "Mary Beth Blanket," I'll treasure the memory of her presence at this past Spring’s Baccalaureate Mass and Graduation which she was so proudly able to attend with Mo. May she rest in peace. Our support and prayers are extended to her entire family.

Fr. Chuck Adam, St. Ambrose University

Words can not express the deep love and affection we all felt for your Mom/Nana. She was a unique woman in so many wonderful ways and will remain in our hearts forever. You all will carry her light throughout your lives, as she left her legacy of love with us through you.

She was my Lucy and I her Ethel... I shall miss her.

Love you all,

We are saddened to learn of Mary Beth's death. We spent a lovely evening sharing school life experiences at an Evening Together and at other activities at Jennifer Fallick Cancer Support Center. She was an inspiring and delightful person. Our deepest sympathy in your loss.

Mike and Mo: Your Mom was a very special person in my life and the lives of Christy and Brian. I will miss her wit, her wisdom, her beautiful smile and her "Luciness", but I will miss her friendship the most. I am so sorry for your loss, and can only imagine how difficult these last few years have been for all of you.



Your Mom was very special to all the lives that she touched in her own special way, whether she was Hair Trigger Mary, PITA, or Just Me., and she will never be out of our hearts.

Maureen, I am so so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I knew your mom from the original Tinley Park Bank. She was one of my "favorite" customers and we would talk at length about you and your brother and my children. I found out that she had ovarian cancer and she was oh so brave. I also lost a cousin to ovarian cancer at the age of 47. Long hard hard battle. Just remember how much she loved you and no one can take away your memories. I will keep you in my prayers during this difficult time and now you have an angel watching over you.

With deepest sympathy

Karen

How sad to hear this.If I close my eyes I can still see her amazing smile, she had a gentle spirit and a great sense of humor. When we were kids , we played school after school.She always got to be the teacher!!!!!!I will always remember Mary Beth. My sympathy to her family.

Today we arrived home from Iowa visiting our parents and heard of the great loss to our world. MaryBeth was not like anyone I have ever known or will again. When the words "MaryBeth" are heard her shining face comes to your mind. She had so many friends that we were not able to help as much as we would have liked to. My whole family treasures her blankets. They are fondly called their "MaryBeth Blankets". Our sorrow and prayers are with her family.

Mary Beth was the bravest, brightest Light I have known. It was such an honor to work with her at Insight, pray and Be with her whenever possible. I know the pain that you are feeling, but we also all know the joy that is now MaryBeth's as she has been released from her suffering. May your pain be released quickly and the memories bring you joy. You will all be in my heart, thoughts and prayers through this challenge. I send you all my Love.
