To my boss Bill and his family, I want you to know that my prayers and thoughts are with you during this difficult time. God will take care of Mollie Jean and she is in the best of care now in the arms of God. She will always be with you and will always be looking over you. If I could do anything that help ease your pain, I would, but you hold on to the memories that you shared and you will meet again in heaven.
