Molly was a dear frined from the late 1960s in Memphis. Susan, Molly, Jim Chappell and I had a lot of fun. After attending a play one night at Front Street Theater we drove to Nashville for a day. No reason, we just wanted to go.

Carl and All
I am here at a computer in southern India near an ashram where I am with a great teacher. I suppose if I had to hear this news it is the best place for me to be. Just a few months earlier I learned of Phyllis Applebaum passing in May of 2005. Now this news has left me with only the words that I loved them both dearly and they both had a profound impact on my life. It was a true blessing to have known them. My wish is that I could have told them in person. Molly will always be in my heart. My prayers and love are coming to you over these many miles.
Blessings
Susan

Dear Carl,

Sorry to hear about Molly. Sorry about your loss.
She was my "Auntie Mole." It's been too long since we have talked.

Carl...

The Blazers' first bonafide fan was Molly, and we loved her for her enthusiasm and encouragement.

We are deeply grieved for you and your family.

However, if there is Bop Dancin' just over the horizon, you had better bring a sturdy pair of shoes when you two meet again.

Carl...

From the earliest days of The Blazers, there was Molly. I guess she was our first bonafide fan, and we loved her so much for her encouragement and support.

Those of us who remain are deeply grieved with her passing and offer you, Carl, and your family our heartfelf condolences.

Bobby Sox and Bop Dancing still goes on... just beyond the horizon. I hope you take some sturdy shoes with you when the two of you meet again.

God Bless you and yours.

Dear Carl,
The sky here is grey and extremely foggy. The shock of seeing Molly's name immitates the grief and density of the clouds that are seen outside my window. Movement was not possible as I read about our warrior,and she was a warrior, Molly. Having the whole family with her was her greatest joy. Molly had told me about the east coast trip,certainly never one on a plane, with the girls and how she loved them. As the fog thickens my mind has stopped. Prayers are in my heart for all of us who have lost Molly and for her deepest loves , her children, grandchildren and for you Carl. As it begins to rain here your loss, and ours , is unimmangable. Too quickly, too quickly.

Love, Patsy Sims Moore
