Michael, Rick & Amy: I just learned of your mother's death a couple days ago. I have many fond memories of her, and as you know, my late parents valued the longtime friendship they shared over many decades.
If I were to share all my memories of your mother, it would take up an entire web page. So, I will simply say that I will never forget your mother's daily presence at the hospice where my mother spent her final days. My mother always considered Molly to be her best friend. For example, whenever my mother was having a difficult time, she knew she could call your mother and receive a receptive and compassionate ear.
My childhood memories are filled with days spent at your earliest home on Shepard Street in Rochester, a later at your Henrietta home. My mother enjoyed serving in Hadassah with your mother and both my parents enjoyed their longtime membership in a child study group that your parents belonged to as well.
Bob: You were a terrific husband to Molly and my sympathies are with you during this very sad time.

My memories of Molly go back to when I was a young girl myself and friendly with Michael. Then, I was fortunate to know her when I returned to Rochester married, with children. She always greeted me warmly, with a smile. And, then there were the years of Elana doing Israeli dancing and participating each year in the Israeli Dance Festival. How wonderful that was. Molly had such a gift that she was able to share with her students.
My deepest sympathy to her whole family. She will truly be missed.

I remember Israeli dancing and singing during my years as a student at Beth El. How could we forget the dance festivals both here and at Temple Israel in Albany. Molly was so proud of all of our hard work. She will be greatly missed by everyone.

Bob, Michael, Ricky and Amy,
I have many fond memories of Molly going back to playing at your house in Henrietta. She was always welcoming, kind, generous and fun, with gentle wisdom. I will always remember my 16th birthday. I was home alone, the doorbell rang, and there was Molly with a birthday present for me. Molly was the only person who remembered my birthday that year because my parents were preoccupied with my sister, who was in the hospital. I will always remember her with love. My prayers and thoughts are with you. Fondly, Hannah
