Sincere Sympathy to Marlene’s Family in the loss of your Mom and Marjory, Bernice and Dr. George, Audrey and Murray. I remember the Elliott Picnics that previous generations kept in touch with their relatives. It was a good idea. Also enjoyed Beverly’s play in Blyth that had family mentions. Sincerely, Helen Craig ( Elliott)

Dear Doug, Barb, Sandy and families and to Molly’s extended family,
Sending my love and most sincere condolences to each one of you.
Bob and Molly, Doug and I, made so many cherished memories together as neighbours and the best of friends, raising our young children in Wallace Township. From frequent picnics, playtimes for you kids, to many, many trips to the fabric store in Kitchener, with five little ones tucked safely into the Volkswagen Bug! We always topped those days off with Molly’s favourite – a ham salad sandwich at Goudies. Oh how we loved those!
Treasure your special memories of a wonderful Mom and great lady! Share them often with each other, they are keepsakes of the heart that will bring much comfort to each one of you.
With love and sympathy,
Marlene Krotz

Molly was such a kind and classy lady. We enjoyed her company on our first floor get togethers. In times like these, John and I have been comforted by these Leonard Cohen words “So come my friends be not afraid. We are so lightly here. It is in love that we are made and in love we disappear. “Sending our condolences and love to the dear family of Molly.
