First I want to say so Sorry for your loss. Molly was such a sweet person. I worked with Molly at the Vital Records program for many years. She was such a great worker and a great friend to us all. I know her and Carol Barnhill had such a great bond. I know she is celebrating in heaven with all who went before her and holding the babies.
