    We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. We have so many “Molly-isms” here at Nottingham. I loved her acerbic wit. You really had to be on your toes around her or she could zing you, all in good humor, of course. I loved her dearly.

    I am so saddened to hear of Molly’s passing.. she was such a sweetheart.. I worked at KPERS with her for 6 yrs. She came to my wedding in 2004 with a few other former coworkers.. then I ran into her at a former Jr High Principal’s memorial service.. she was such a joy to be around and to talk to.. she was a very classy lady.. Rest in Paradise Molly ~ you always have a special place in my heart.
