Matt,
It seems like it was just yesterday that John and Molly entered kindergarten. I remember John going to his first Pershing Sock Hop, all dressed in "Greaser" attire. There stood Molly, the cutest first grade poodle skirt girl, with her hair done up in a beehive by your Mom. I'm thinking it was Molly who was brave enough to ask John to dance. Your Mom and I just beamed, they were the cutest 7 year olds we knew.
From her beehive, poodle skirt and later her flip flops, Molly had her own sense of self. She knew the way she wanted to go in life, and was strong enough to pursue it. I know a lot of that strength came from you and your Mom.
She will be greatly missed. But she will be in our hearts in every occasion to come as we keep her memory alive by sharing all the things she did that made us laugh. Try to hang on to those, Matt. You're a great big brother.
With love,
Julie Tipton

Molly,
I've practically known you all of my life--we went to Pershing together and then Heritage. I even had you in my Spanish class for two years. I'll always remember the days when you danced around Ms. Reid's room, singing to her and making everyone in class laugh.
It's almost surreal that this has happened to you and your mother. When I was first told, I didn't believe it, and thought that it was just a cruel joke. How could this happen to someone I've known my entire life? How could she be sitting next to me in Spanish class one minute and then gone the next? I'm still having trouble believing it.
I know that we weren't very close. Nevertheless, this has made me realize how I wish everything could have been completely different, in and out of school. Even if we didn't have the same friends or the same opinions...we all grew up together, we all knew each other, and we were all of the same age. You were one of us, and you still are.
Love and jellybeans <3

Oh MacGoogle,
I will miss you so much. With your bright orange flip flops and laughs galore. When I think of Molly I think of a beautiful angel watching down on all of us. We love you MacGoogle...Joni and Mickee

My prayers and thoughts are with you Matt and your family. I had the opportunity to meet Molly and Jane many years ago and what a pleasure it was. They will surely be missed. Thank God for the time that he has blessed us with their presence.

Dear Matt and the McGrath Family,
My deepest sympathy to all of you. Molly was such a gentle, loving, caring girl. Her smile brightened up a room, just like her mom’s. I had the pleasure of watching Matt and Molly when Jane went out of town. I will never forget all the fun we had together, watching movies with a big bowl of popcorn, playing games. I will always cherish the times we had together.

Molly was such a strong-willed and amazing girl. I had the pleasure of getting to know her when she was a fifth grader at Pershing, and I was a teacher.
She will remain in my prayers and thoughts -- as will her mother -- forever.

Molly -
I didn't know you very well, but I know that you were close friends with some of my close friends in 7th grade. Every time I saw you, you were smiling, and I can picture you smiling right now. When I heard the news, I felt like sooo sad, because you were so young, and so many people are not going to get to meet you and see your wonderful smile. Everyone that knew you misses you. <3

To Matt and the entire McGrath family-
Years ago I used to babysit for Molly and Matt and became very close with Jane Ann. My mom and I moved to 10210 and met them when I was 15 years old. My husband and I loved Molly Doll so much she was our only choice for flower girl when we married. We brought out our photo albums last night and reflected on her sweet face and the fun we had with Matt, Molly and Jane. I used to pick up Molly from daycare when I had a day off of work while Jane worked and Matt was
in school just to spend time with her. May God and His angels watch over Molly Jane, Jane Ann and especially Matthew.
Love, Mie and Pete Arundel

My daughter went to Pershing and Heritage Schools with Molly, and I would like to express my sorrow to the entire family for their loss. My heart goes out to you Matt. I met you several years ago at Candices house, you may not remember me, but I remember you, and I'm thinking of you.
