    Mary, Dennis, and family,
    After receiving your phone call I located photo albums to help me recall all the beautiful moments I shared with my lovely friend, Mollee. We were so youthful as we lived for the moment with adventures around every corner. From boat cruises on the St. Croix with Stillwater coworkers, to Sunday football games in Hudson, to our travels to England – we were fully living life! I always admired Mollee for her passionate ways while being an advocate for others, such a beautiful strong woman! I am sorry for your unimaginable loss, please know I am a phone call away. I will be at the visitation next Thursday.

    Mollee you were such an inspiration to me in highschool I cherrish the 4 years we spent together, you always had the best advise and wisdom. In a world full of people who thought we were “unteachable” you changed that, you changed the way we thought about ourselves and showed us how to overcome obstacles that stood in our way. I 9193 SO much from you, I will forever remember you. I still get the chills when I close my eyes and remember your voice when you would read to us in class. You had a way of making English fun, you had the biggest and brightest smile and I will forever be greatful for what you did for me to get me through school. Thanks for making a lasting impact on my life Ms. Mollee ❤️

    My son Tyler was fortunate to have Mollee as a teacher this past year and said she was the only reason he passed English. Made her mark on his life so thankful for her help getting him to graduation.
