Molly was a much loved and respected Southbridge 'local.' You, her family, are a wonderful legacy to her, she was so proud of you all. I remember Molly for her kindnesses, her fun, friendship, empathy and compassion as well as her enormous sense of adventure and courage. She always took time to really listen to people and respond with compassion. She gave of her TIME. I will also remember the beautiful bunches of roses she grew and gave so generously. With love to you all from us all, Sharen, Nathan, Ben and Kate (Holmes)
