I knew Molly, she was a antique dealer and I bought many beautiful things from her. She had a booth in High Street Antique Mall. I couldn't wait to go see what beautiful finds she had. RIP Mrs. CANTLON

Our family moved to a home near Molly and Adam in 1990 when the Army sent us to Ft. Campbell. We enjoyed the friendship we developed, although we moved off the street some years later. Molly was a lovely lady and we are sorry for Adam's loss.

I knew Molly from church. She and Adam always sat on the back pew. Molly always spoke to me and she and Adam were faithful every Sunday until health prevented them from coming. Going to miss Molly.
