Our deepest sympathies to the entire Atkins family. Keeping you close in our thoughts & prayers.
I am so very sorry to hear about Molly. My thoughts are with the family in this difficult time. I worked with her at Sun Life and she was always such a joy and had such a great & infectious smile. She will most definitely be missed.
We are so sorry to loose Molly as I neighbor. We miss her. Reta and Don Carroll
I bet I’m not the only person Molly touched in her way too short time who can close their eyes and hear her breathy contagious laughter. What a wonderful thing to leave behind.
I sure hope they have tacos in heaven. She was such a gift. I’ll carry her with me in my heart forever.
