So sorry to read of your loss of dearest Molly. She was a life long friend of our family my parents being Bob and Gay Ellis. Have many happy memories of family visits when we were kids. When Mum was able I took her to Perth St for visits and Molly always astounded me with her independence, interest in my golf and always her humor. She will be sadly missed by you all X
I was sorry to see that Mollie has passed away. Thinking of you all at this sad time. Early memories of your Mum and Dad were from Herbert-Wynak and Hampden with the stories of what they all got up to in their early years. My Mum was a good friend of Mollie's back then. When I came to Kurow it was lovely to catch up with them again. Mollie was always very welcoming and I would get the odd phone call on a Sunday morning to see if you Andrew had stayed on the floor in our flat instead of driving back up the valley. She was always pleased to get you home safely. Deepest sympathies to you all. Sally Hammond(nee Budge)
I was so sorry to hear that Mollie has passed away. She was always such a bright, positive person who embraced life with warmth and had keen interest in all her family. I have such happy memories of our connections over the years—from the early Cattle Creek days, to my recent visit with Mollie. She was a very special person who will be dearly missed. Sending much love to you all. Rosina
