Dear DeCoster family,

We had the opportunity to grow up as a family with Chuck, Caroline and Amy. Play dates were made between Chad, Pondie and Luke.
Mollie was a great mom and loved sharing her home with my children. Her love of being with her family and sharing all that was hers was foremost.

Please accept our love and condolences.

I've known Molly for only a short period of time, but she managed to capture my heart with her sweet, loving personality. She will be missed. Thoughts and Prayers go out to her family and friends.

Dearest Caroline, a favorite memory of mine was when we were in high school and, visiting the Sullivan's, your mom burst into song with Chelsea. Forever a patron of the arts, your mom taught us all that a song is always welcome. My thoughts and love.

Mollie I have never seen a woman fight so courageously, handle trauma with such dignity and grace. Thank you for teaching me so much. Thank you for your friendship. You will be missed so dearly and thought of so often. I feel so sad inside for your family and for everyone who loved you but I am so happy you are not in pain. And I am very grateful to have been your friend. Elizabeth

Mollie was one of my favorite friends from Vis. She had a beautiful mind and a wicked sense of humor. I am grateful that we were able to get so many classmates together this past year to have brunch with her. The class of 1970 has lost a kindred spirit.

I thank God that I had had the opportunity to meet Mollie and spend time with her. I found her to be so warm and welcoming, delightful and intelligent. I am so grateful that Chuck and his family have become part of our family. I know she will be missed greatly, but her love and the loving memories of Mollie's Presence in our lives will never die.
Sweet Dreams, Mollie. Go and be with God.

If there is any way that Paul and I can support you at this difficult time, please know that we are always here for you.

Caroline... As I have already lost a parent... words don't fail me... although they are stuck around the lump in my throat at the hurt and tremendous loss I know you are feeling. That Ache at her passing will never truly go away... but it will ease with time. May you remember her life with a smile that eases some of your pain... I wish you all the best and have your family in my daily prayers.

~Much Love and Many Blessings
