I was sorry to hear of Molly’s passing She & Steve were good neighbors and were loved by all in the neighborhood. Molly was a loving, generous & caring person.
I will miss her phone calls that always included a prayer. She is with Steve now. God love them both
Sweet Molly is now rejoicing with the angels. I have memories that span my entire lifetime and I know she will be missed by many. I can only imagine the heavenly reunion she had with Steve and David….they’ve been waiting a long time!
I’m so sorry for the loss of your loved one. It is comforting to know that your loved one is alive in God’s memory, God never loses sight of them, (Luke 20:38)
It is also comforting to know of God’s promise to get rid of death forever. (Rev. 21:3,4)
Dear family you have my sincere condolences. What precious memories you must hold of your dear mother, sister, grand, and great grandmother, who lived such a long life! May those memories, along with your reliance and trust in the one true God (Psalm 83:18) comfort you during this difficult time and may you find comfort in his promise of a resurrection in Acts 24:15.
