Wood Family, our deepest condolences on your loss. Molly became a great friend to me over the past several years. Often meeting up at Maddy's parents house for Thanksgiving and Christmas. She would visit us in Chicago and we would always have to get Lou's. Molly loved their pizza.
Those memories of our passed loved ones come at the oddest, interesting, and often even at the most inconvenient moments. They slip in through hearing a favorite song. At a holiday. Or even Lou Malnati's. These memories snap us back into those precious times with our loved one. Embrace and cherish those moments as our loved ones are never gone if we keep them in our thoughts.

I wish to express my condolences to Mollys family. I had the pleasure to work with her at ShopKo many years ago. I enjoyed working with her. She always had a positive attitude and made everyone's day of work that much more enjoyable. Including my own. While no words can ever fill the place in the world where she should be. Know that she made a difference for many people with just her smile. Again I can not express my condolences enough to her family.
