I knew Molly for many years not only from our mutual love for the Media Fawns and our sisterhood but as a dear friend of my late brother and sister in law Tom & Sally Loveland. I will always remember plenty of laughs and fun times at their house parties and of course the VFW. I last saw her at my brothers funeral services and she forever had a kind word and sentiment about him. We always shared a laugh about our past from attendance at Notre Dame to our love of Drum & Bugle corps and our shared antics with our fellow Fawns at many competitions. She was an awesome horn player and just a great person all around. I will miss seeing you Molly but I am sure you earned Angels wings for your devotion to Nativity and Media. You truly were a hometown girl! My sincere condolences to Eileen and her whole family!
