Molly was beautiful inside and out. I always enjoyed hanging out with her while our brothers were in sports or at boy scouts... even if it was just sitting in the Scan van until it was time to go. She had an infectious smile and a big heart.

My heart has been aching since I heard the news of Molly's passing. May everyone that was touched by her wonderful personality find peace during this difficult time. Hold onto each other for strength and support.
I did not know Molly very well, but we have mutual friends (Jen Higgins, Jessica Thorne, etc) in the Des Moines area. She was always a bright ray of sunshine and joy.

Molly was a year younger than my sister (Christy Haas) in school at BS. I didn't know Molly since I was 6 years older, but I remember her and that beautiful smile. So very sorry for your loss!

My heart goes out to the Scanlon and Roth families. Molly made such an impression on me when she joined our staff as a student employee at the College of Business. Her attitude was infectious, and really a pure joy to be around. I kept up with her through the years with our shared love of beagles, and always enjoyed her Charlie posts on social media. I know she was an amazing daughter, wife, and mother and I hope her family finds peace and understanding as they work their way through their grief. Many prayers are with you.

My heart breaks for you Jamison. I meet alot of couples in my line of work. The both of you left a warm impression. I loved bumping into Molly at the Hy Vee shows in the past. Molly lit up a room with her smile and bubbly personality. Sending hugs and prayers to you, your kids and family.

We have really fond memories of Molly when she was a young girl. She was a very good friend of our daughter and we have many photos of her. We are sad that her life was so short, but we are certain that she touched many and will be missed so very much. We are praying for every family member and friend who feels a hole in their heart right now - that they will be able to continue on and see the wonder that Molly brought into their lives.
